PROVIDING TENDER LOVING CARE TO NEEDY HORSES & PONIES
Oreo arrived this summer. Another ex Gypsy pony found wandering on a main road in Cardiff. She was picked up by the Horse Warden, vetted and taken to the pound. She was heavily pregnant and missing one eye. She was understandably very nervous and head shy. It took us quite a while to be able to get some medication into her missing eye. We presume it’s a recent injury as she has not yet learnt to compensate for her blindness on the one side.
Her mane and tail were severely matted and it took a lot of time and patience to groom her and keep her damaged eye from getting infected. She also has heel mites living in the feather around her lower legs. Once we had her nice and calm with us we trimmed all the muddy feather off and dealt with the mites and soreness they had caused. She had her foal just two days after arrival.
