LOving home needed for Shetland Pony
We are looking for a new home for our Shetland Pony.
For those of you who dont know the story...our shetland "Checker" is almost 30 years old and has never lived on his own. About four months ago he lost his companion and stopped eating and drinking.
We brought 2 beautiful lambs from Paradise Country to keep him company, but today we have had to have one,'Jacy' put to sleep by our vet.
It seems she ate something in the paddock that was toxic to her and poisoned her. We are absoluely heartbroken as the 2 lambs were absolutly amazing and luckily we spoke to the people we got them from and they have taken the other lamb 'Ava' back, so she has a good home with loads of other sheep. We have brought Jacy home and buried her in the garden.
We have made the very difficult decision to rehome our shetland as we dont know what it is in the paddock that has caused this and we will not take the chance of the pony becoming sick.
He needs a home with another horse or pony as company as although he is elderly he still enjoys racing round the paddock and playing.
PLEASE PLEASE if you can help us send me an email. We live in Bonogin on the Gold Coast.
Thank you
Sharon and Brad
