Sammy and Frodo

In February 2008 we rescued two young Dartmoor pony colts, Sammy and Frodo, who had been running wild since May 2007, victims of neglect and ignorance. After visiting umpteen different fields and crossing many busy roads they finally came to ‘rest’ with a large ‘matriarch’ cob that the two boys seem to regard as a mother figure. There were three colts, but one sadly, went missing, we hope that someone took it in. 
 
They originated from the moors, were ‘drifted’ (rounded up) as foals, and then been sold for a few pounds at the market place. Consequently they were unwanted and abandoned - when we came across them they were frightened, hungry and disorientated. 
  
This once again highlights the terrible ordeal these foals go through – separated from their mothers when they are far too young rounded up into lorries and taken to market, a few are sold, usually to end up as meat anyway and the rest are taken to the continent.

Sammy still remembers his roaming days, we frequently find him in a different field to the one he is turned out into, he is an extremely playful pony, with all the other horses and people. Just look at that face, mischief written all over it!!

Both Sammy & Frodo are very well and happy, loved by everyone...
