Our old friend Dean came to visit us last week to help out with the ponies and he took some more fabulous photos.

Wynner and Maytime have just completed three weeks of hard work. They were willing and full of giving throughout; it makes one feel privileged and honoured to be around them. I know both of them will readily accept children having a little ride on them as part of their therapy.

Bronwen has finally had her foal. Julius was an extravert from the day he was born, running ahead of her and strengthening his leg muscles by doing several laps of the coppice at full gallop

Dean is one of our young helpers who has a keen interest in photography and has taken many fabulous pictures of the horses, dogs and landscape over the past few months. Here are a few of our favourites...

Summer holidays and groups of young people working through their problems with the horses. Updated 20th September 2011

Autumn term with the horses and the young people from special schools in Oxfordshire. Updated 20th September 2011.

Avispa renamed Angel, arrived in January and is an ex polo pony who played with the Big Bears polo team in her youth. Her life was harsh and without love, so after 17 years she was ready only for the meat lorry. She was rescued from that fate, suffered a hock injury before ending up with us here at Hopethruhorses. Her original name Avispa means aggressive wasp which seemed to me to be such an unkind name for such an extraordinarily sweet natured creature, I changed it to Angel to be the complete opposite. Take a look through the gallery to see her transformation.
