Buttercup came in with what they suspected was a case of worms; she had a bloated abdomen. Obviously in a place like this, the vet is contacted as soon as an animal arrives.
Not worms; a foal!
Duchess was born on the same day as Princess Charlotte, and thus named Duchess. Which makes her a month old. Buttercup is a lovely friendly mare. the only reason my photos are at a distance is I was too busy paying her attention and cooing over her still gangly foal to reach for my camera when they came closer.
I didn't catch this horse's name, or even gender. I assume mare from the pink halter, but who am I to make gender assumptions?!
But s/he is rather beautiful. Last horse to be groomed before going to the paddocks for the day.
The cottage onsite. There is a chicken hidden in this photo.
The Wall of Remembrance. Some of these lived to a ripe old age, some were simply unable to survive the conditions they arrived with.
Would we were all so simply and kindly remembered.
