In October 2018, Peaches, the last of the original foster ponies from Pukka Ponies set off to her new home. Surprisingly, I didn’t feel sad. Watching the others going on to lead exciting lives somehow turned my feelings of loss into hope and happiness.
I was lucky enough to meet Peaches’ adopted family. They were lovely, I liked them from the moment they greeted Peaches. I remember asking them if they wanted more time to walk around with Peaches. They didn’t, they just stood by Peaches, stroking her. I could see how calm Peaches was around them, there was a connection. I knew Peaches would be loved and feel safe in their care.
The week before she was due to leave we gave her the Little Warden send off. Extra cuddles, lots of grooming time and of course lots of treats (of the healthy kind) too!
Peaches’ story and many progress updates will be coming soon! She has certainly landed on her hooves. You won’t believe the transformation!
