Thankyou everyone for the interest this lovely little pony has been rehomed 😊

I have been contacted by a lovely lady about a pony that needs a new home. She is about 13hh, 11yrs old green broken so needs an experienced home. Also needs good fencing as she has shown little respect for electric fences. For more info please msg the page and I will pass on the owners contact details.
Edit... She is now listed on as give away on the free horses site as she needs a home asap.

PLEASE REMEMBER THE HORSES TOO

"I SPOKE TO YOU IN WHISPERS"
ByNeil Andrew

I spoke to you in whispers
As shells made the ground beneath us quake
We both trembled in that crater
A toxic muddy bloody lake

I spoke to you and pulled your ears
To try and quell your fearful eye
As bullets whizzed through the raindrops
And we watched the men around us die

I spoke to you in stable tones
A quiet tranquil voice
At least I volunteered to fight
You didn't get to make the choice

I spoke to you of old times
Perhaps you went before the plough
And pulled the haycart from the meadow
Far from where we're dying now

I spoke to you of grooming
Of when the ploughman made you shine
Not the shrapnel wounds and bleeding flanks
Mane filled with mud and wire and grime

I spoke to you of courage
As gas filled the Flanders air
Watched you struggle in the mud
Harness acting like a snare

I spoke to you of peaceful fields
Grazing beneath a setting sun
Time to rest your torn and tired body
Your working day is done

I spoke to you of promises
If from this maelstrom I survive
By pen and prose and poetry
I'll keep your sacrifice alive

I spoke to you of legacy
For when this hellish time is through
All those who hauled or charged or carried
Will be regarded heroes too

I spoke to you in dulcet tones
Your eye told me you understood
As I squeezed my trigger to bring you peace
The the only way I could

And I spoke to you in whispers.....

5 year update 💙
Hard to believe that this is Indie now, he arrived covered in so many burrs that 1 ear was pinned down and he could only see our 1 eye. He is all grown up and a stunning boy now. Thankyou Hayley for giving him a perfect home where he is loved so much.

Little trip down memory lane, Baby is 5 now. From an unwanted orphan at the knackery to a healthy, still growing horse.

2 new members of IHH :) . Jack (Home of Jack) and Max the grey. Jack has a home already with his previous trainer in QLD where he is going to retire as he deserves, as soon as he is well enough to travel that far.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

Lest We Forget
