Hey there everyone! Are you ready for an incredible story about a pony named Duke?
I want to introduce you to my friend Duke, a special pony who became a part of my herd two years ago. But let me tell you, life hasn't always been smooth for Duke.
I'm super proud to be a patron of World Horse Welfare (WHW), an amazing international organization based in England that cares for horses and works to make their lives better. They believe in creating a strong bond between horses and humans, whether it's in work, at home, or even in sports! For five years, I've been supporting WHW and capturing their heartwarming stories at their rehoming and adoption centers. Over here in the U.S., the ASPCA does similar fantastic work, protecting horses from harm and finding them loving forever homes through their ASPCA Right Horse adoption program.
PERSONALITY FOR DAYS
Now, let me take you back two years ago to when I met the incredible Duke. This tiny but fast Welsh Mountain Pony was a true survivor! Imagine being left all alone on a mountainside, just a few days old, without your mom by your side.
