This is Cookie, she came to us as a Welfare Rescue Case in march 2024, where she was extremely malnourished, shut down and reactive to the touch. We suspected due to an old injury or trauma. We immediately had the vet out and had dental work done, it was evident that Cookie had never seen a dentist, her teeth had abscesses and had grown into her cheeks. Once her teeth were done, we were worried because she still wouldn't eat a lot due to the fear of pain. But soon, she started to eat and started to gain weight. Cookie is a super sweet girl, it saddened us each time we handled her because she would flinch from our touch. But, with patience and care Cookie has gained her confidence and has become a favourite of the staff and volunteers. She is a dream to walk and trots happily next to whoever's leading her on her. She is one of the favourite ponies for Pony Club because she so calm and sweet. Her absolute favourite treats are salt licks! Her best friend is Marmite who she adores and follows around. Cookie has been driven in a cart before she came to us. We had to take her back to basics as she was extremely nervous and reactive to anything involving tack and carts. She's doing very well now! Cookie has a cough occasionally which were still currently investigating, we think she may be allergic to something, although we're still figuring out what it might be!. |
