We are absolutely delighted to receive a gift of a small pony for our smallest riders. The search for a large pony to buy goes on, with nearly sufficient funds raised, but our smaller ponies are getting older too and the gift of Sammy is a boost.

Sue Arrowsmith, of Sunant Native Pony Stud was looking for a good home for her daughters’ pony which they had outgrown. A chance conversation led her to us, and Bronheulog Royal Samsara arrived at Little Brook in early April. She is a 12 year old Welsh Sec B liver chestnut mare and stands at 12.2 hands. Sammy is also narrow, which makes her perfect for our littlest riders, some of whom have hip dysplasia. She has a lovely temperament and will be working with our riders when term starts again on 20th April.

We are enormously grateful to Sue, who breeds Standard and Miniature Shetlands and Fell and Welsh Section B ponies at her Stud in Lincolnshire.
