A Happy Ending For 11 Ponies Thanks To Your Help!
In November last year, we told you how we helped prevent 12 ponies (the Dartmoor Dozen) from being shot when their owner was evicted from his land. He had no money to feed the ponies, and they were starving. In such cases, ponies are either shot, placed in zoos or sold as meat. But together […]
