Shetlands Jenny and Percy will be indulging in a very special Christmas dinner
Shetlands Jenny and Percy will be indulging in a very special Christmas dinner Cute Shetlands Jenny and Percy will be indulging in a very special Christmas dinner as they sample their first mouthful of grass at The Blue Cross this Christmas. The mother and son, aged 15 and five, were recently admitted to The Blue Cross equine centre in Rolleston when their elderly owner realised he could no longer care for them. They had lived in a shed all their lives, only occasionally being turned out into a tiny yard to stretch their legs, so they had never seen grass and were relatively unhandled. Poor Percy suffered the added problem of not being able to walk properly because of a condition called ‘locking stifle' but thankfully a routine operation has now solved this problem. |  |
Hopefully by Christmas they will be able to stay in the field for short spells and will start to enjoy socialising with the neighbouring ponies.
