NEW FOALS AT THE MINIATURE PONY CENTRE
We have had 13 new foals born at the Pony Centre this year, the most recent arrival was Robin, a miniature Mediterranean donkey, who was born on Thursday 29th May.
Below are just a few of this season's foals:
Silver Mist has given birth to an adorable black filly foal, who we have named Scarlet Rose Finch (or Scarlet for short).
Rosita has given birth to a bonny chestnut colt (our first colt this year), who we have named Starling.
Lola gave birth to a lovely little bay filly, who we have called Linnet.
Blossom, one of our more experienced mothers, gave birth to another beautiful chestnut filly, and her name is Siskin.
Each year, we have a different theme for naming the foals, and this year the theme is TYPES OF BIRD, and Linnet, Siskin, Starling and Pippit are just some of this year's foals waiting to meet you.

However, we do promote the adoption scheme run by the Dartmoor Pony Heritage Trust. You can contact us for more details or an adoption form, alternatively you can visit the Trust's web site www.dpht.co.uk.
