Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page

As many of you will know, Dainty is our little miracle pony! Unfortunately Dainty was diagnosed with Grass Sickness 4 years ago when she was 5 yrs old and Willow was just 3, the thought of having to tell Willow that Dainty was likely to die just broke my heart. After 4 long days and nights the decision was made by the vet that Dainty should be put to sleep, so at 3pm that day the vet came out, but by some miracle he heard faint noises in 1 quadrant so agreed we could keep trying to nurse her through it! Fast forward 4 years and here we are heading to the Grass Sickness Survivors Parade in the main ring at the Royal Highland Show ❤️
