People4ponies Open Day

Sunday was a very busy day, spent helping all the other volunteers to prepare Horseford Farm for the annual people4ponies open day. There's always lots to do - putting up tents, displays, signs and stalls, but there is a great team spirit and as they say...many hands make light work! Some Understanding Horses students came to help as well...it's great to support the charity and all the good work they do.

Bank holiday Monday was the open day itself, and it attracted lots of families who enjoyed meeting all the ponies and watching the pony handling displays. Understanding Horses had our display there to promote the courses we hold at Horseford Farm. Faye was helping around the yard with logistics, handling ponies during the displays, meeting visitors and answering their questions about the ponies

The open day visitors were very generous with their donations and purchases of plants, food, books and bric-a-brac...and all the money raised on the day will go straight into looking after and rehabilitating the ponies.
