Abandoned Pony Finds New Life at Prestigious Show
16 Jul
Summary
- A neglected Dartmoor pony was found on an industrial estate in Sheffield.
- The pony, named Hadee, was rescued and rehabilitated by Thornberry Animal Sanctuary.
- Hadee will now compete in the rescue category at the Great Yorkshire Show.
A three-year-old Dartmoor pony, abandoned on an industrial estate seven months ago, is set to compete at a prestigious agricultural show. The pony was discovered roaming free in a car park by staff at Hadee Engineering in Sheffield last December.
When no owner came forward, the stallion was taken in by Thornberry Animal Sanctuary, where staff named him Hadee. He underwent a month of quarantine, received treatment for a cut on his nose, and was castrated before being integrated with other horses.
Hadee's remarkable progress over the past six months has been recognized by the sanctuary. He is now healthy and has been prepared for a new life, with his participation in the Great Yorkshire Show's rescue category aimed at educating the public about his journey. The Great Yorkshire Show, celebrating its 167th year, takes place from July 14-17 in Harrogate and is a significant event for British farming and the countryside.
