With the big fella gone ..........we were left with a pony. Maxie was bought solely to be a paddock mate for Clips............Now with Clips gone the tides had to turn, and Maxie became the pony in need of a friend...
He was a very sad lost little pony who missed his best mate of four years badly.
Very sad. He seemed so small in the paddock all on his own.........
l had to spend most of the day in the yard with him to hold his hand.........or for him to hold mine...............or my tee shirt...........
Of course we had no choice but to find Maxie another friend. And fast. So after some enquires and asking around locally we discovered, and arranged to take on this little fellow.
Welcome Inksy to Candlestick Farm!
Inksy...(or Stravinsky as is his full name!!) is a Shetland pony. He is 14 years old and comes from a family who loved him dearly but whose children had long since outgrown him. He is tiny and incredibly quiet and gentle.
As displayed by his rather unorthodox arrival in the back of a 6 x 4 trailer!
Nothing fazed him much on the very short trip to his new home!
His late afternoon arrival certainly perked this little boy up!
And after years of being paddocked on his own, little Inksy was pretty excited too!
Well..........as much as he SEEMS to be able to be excited! He really is terribly quiet! Or is that because we are not used to such a docile pony after living with the terror for so long?
Early days.....separate for now.........they will be best paddock mates soon l am sure................
Now Maxie can live up to his name, with his new Mini friend.
