Cupcake was rescued in 2005. He loved his life at Shetland Pony Club, where he was properly cared for, giving pleasure to hundreds of children over the years. When he retired he was a great companion to the rest of the Shetland ponies. In his old age, he enjoyed lazing around in the meadows, keeping the other ponies company, and letting children brush him. In the winter he enjoyed the comfort of a stable too. He was a very modern pony and had “selfies” taken (see Cupcake’s Winter Warmer) as well as featuring regularly in our Pony Cam in the new online website. He also helped children to learn about ponies as seen here when the dentist came to visit.
