They're not treated as well as you or I would treat a horse. But they're not abused or neglected.

It was upsetting that me and next door spent so much time looking after the first horse who we nicknamed Biscuit, and she just dissaperad we feared the worst. But just knowing that there was someone there who cared for her and was nice to her made us feel better.

The shetlands that were in the field were nasty and not friendly at all.

Cookie (we have nicknamed him) although he is headshy, he is a peoples boy. He comes straight to the fence at the cluck of your tongue.
I think he just needs to learn we are not going to hurt him.

Next doors mum hasn't met him yet. Who knows, if we get to know him, she may try and put in an offer.
