Dear Orla, Happy 6 months in your new life. You've grown in weight, strength, and character!! With a big dollop of sass too!

Orla update: 6wk 5dys since rescue and she's doing so well! Leading a very different life to the one she was 7 weeks ago 💛

Orla update: 7 months 6 days. She still sometimes gets nervous but I feel like the hell that was once her life is just a memory. Being part of a herd has been a great move for her but she's having to re learn social skills she may never have properly learned, but she's trying and has a girlfriend!

Orla update! She had her first ever job training long reining in a driving harness, hopefully she'll learn to be a driving pony, ideally bitless, we have a wheelchair adapted pony cart and that may be part of her place here! She accepted her first track really well too! So proud 💛

Orla update! Today she finally joined the main herd and I opened up a new grassy field for them so they're a happy herd. Hopefully she will settle in over the next few days 💛 6months 3 weeks post rescue.

Orla Update: Just over 12 weeks ago I brought this girl home. From an existence of cold, hunger and isolation to the warm loving life, with friends human and equine and a full belly, that she knows now. She's full of attitude and full of love.

They're clearly all in season... Be sure Orla and Renn are flirting... And neither of them are mellow mares 😂. Oh yes people, that's our Orla! 7 months post rescue 💛

Update on Orla. She is now pooping almost normal poops! Due to actually having some fibre in her tummy! She has already perked up and her hips are a tiny bit less pronounced and it’s only day 3!

Orla update day 6: we went for a short walk to help with swollen legs and she was allowed a few mouthfuls of grass and no more! She started her 5 day panacur yesterday and was louse treated the day before. She’s very weak so tucked up warm now ❤️

Orla update: Day 11 just a little pic of her walking back to her stable after spending the day in our semi covered corral. She’s getting a little stronger by the day.

Me and my Daisy on her second bitless ride a couple of weeks ago. She's loving the transition so far, she's gone from being labelled dangerous and unrideable to this, patience love and consistency and me trying new things for her and tailoring her training to suit her. Let your horses teach you

Orla update: well the photos say it all really. This girl is stronger and healthier by the day, her feet are hardening and her skin improvising, she’s gaining weight and muscle slowly and building her fitness. Basic care... that’s all she needed BASIC CARE!

Orla update: She had her second farrier visit today, 5weeks 5days post rescue, beautiful girls feet are getting stronger. Proper nutrition, professional farriery and a lick of keratex hoof hardener have made it so that our girly can now walk without pain.

Orla update: Vet visited today, rasped her teeth, some very sharp points, she will be able to eat more without pain now! According to her teeth Orla is 4yo not 7 as informed. She had flu+tet vaccs, she is microchipped and will have passport soon, she may eat grass 10 mins a time 2-3 times per day.

Orla update: A really positive one today, on vets recommendation Orla enjoyed her first visit to the garden for 10 mins of grazing on grass! She is able to do this 2/3 times per day and then increase slowly! Very happy pony barely came up for air!

Orla Update: 16wk5d Orla's better than ever, living out bossing her friend around, getting fitter and stronger all the time this lively pony is worlds away from the emaciated, shut down creature I rescued in September. I've no doubt she wouldn't have lived through the winter if I hadn't been called.

Orla Update: She's happy, healthy and great, spent the last few days with her bestie Alistair in the garden mowing the lawn for me. 28 weeks post rescue and she is in a very different garden to the one I rescued her from 💛

I got my first toller today. Two days ago I'd never heard of the breed, yesterday I heard about her needing a home today I rehomed her. I am so in love.
