I’ve always been a big fan of volunteering so when an opportunity to help some rescue ponies arouse , I jumped at it. What was suppose to be my personal journey has now become our family’s journey not only into the world of fostering rescue ponies but to life in the country.
I’m writing this blog so that in years to come my husband Phil and I can reminisce about our successes and failures. Hopefully it will make us laugh and Phil will finally agree that all the blood, sweat and tears we’ve put into this adventure was worth it.
I would like my kids to remember the fun they’ve had and realise that all the 6am starts, the digging, exploring (especially in the Gruffalo’s den), the berry picking, watching mummy endlessly poo pick and daddy building things in all weathers have helped shape them hopefully into becoming strong, brave and kind human beings.
Finally, I hope if someone reading this is on a similar journey they can learn from our experiences. It would be great to hear your experiences and views on all that we’re doing. If you try out any of our projects please let us know how you got on, what worked, what didn’t and if you have any suggestions. We’re always interested in learning new approaches and skills.
