A busy week in Denmark again but this time ponies finding new homes.
Just over a week ago Heidi moved to Tina Nielsen's home, Stutteri Damkær
and the latest news is she has settled in very well.
Yesterday, Pebble was delivered to his new home with Anne Dorthe Jensen
where he will be a companion to her 18 year old pony
who was a companion to her old riding horse who has sadly had to be put down.
Pebble took everything in his stride, behaved wonderfully as always and wandered off
with his new friend not giving Barbara a backward glance! Photographs soon.

April
3rd

Leader and Rueben have competed at the Vestbirk youngstock show DK and have both done very well,
Rueben once again won his class and came 14th in the final of 20 odd ponies so not a bad day!
Leader was attending his first ever show and behaved very well, he came 4th of 4.
His marks and comments given by the judges was very encouraging.
Barbara and Ivan knew he would score poorly on body and type
as he is very immature and has not started to muscle up yet
but the marks and comments for limbs, walk and trot were very good
and as the judges said later “they look forward to seeing him again when he’s 5”
