Both Ponies are now doing really well, they will be gelded soon.After recovery,they will be ready to be placed with their foster homes. The RSPCA will need to approve the release of the ponies but we are sure the new owners will do the right thing by these little stars and make sure they never fall into the same condition again.

*Dobbins Daycare was developed from client demand. Rising fuel and vehicle costs meant inevitable price increases. To keep costs down, several clients suggested we work from home. So now they bring their horse to us, leave it (and the float) whilst they go shopping or have appointments and collect the shod or trimmed horse on their way home.
