Our first sunset charity walk with the Shetland Ponies is finally here. The ponies are surprised to be going out in the evening. Let’s find out how they get on in this week’s video.
Guests arrive
With so many guests supporting our first-ever Sunset charity walk with the Shetland ponies, all 21 ponies join in and help us support Cancer Research UK.
Meeting our ponies and learning to walk them
There’s a few simple rules to learn about brushing and walking with the ponies, then we are off around the meadows.
Wildflowers and pony walking
Everyone does really well walking with their ponies and the weather is balmy and warm. We stroll through the wildflower meadows and finish in the long grass on Sunset Ridge to enjoy drinks and nibbles – just a perfect summer’s evening.
Thank you to everyone who has supported our Sunset Charity Walk with the Shetland Ponies in aid of Cancer Research.
