Ruby: Retired to the Horses Trust
|
|
|
|
| After many years of hard work at Wellgate it was decided in 2008 that due to Ruby's advancing age and back problems it would be in her best interests if she was retired. And so early January 2009 Ruby went off to the Horses Trust for a well earned rest to live out the rest of her life.

| Ruby was such a big part of Farm life that we thought it would be appropriate to add this page of memories of Ruby's time at Wellgate. We will collect some stories from staff old and new as well as from volunteers who have worked with her and add some photos too. Of course we will also add updates of how she settles in at the Horses Trust and any news we have of her.

| Ruby came to the Farm in 1988 in poor condition and pregnant. She gave birth to a filly named Crystal, who has now grown up into a beautiful pony and has had a foal of her own who is called Paddy. Ruby has beautiful blue eyes (known as wall eyes) and skewbald markings. She loves a good gallop and roll in the fields, especially when she's just been groomed!
