How Starsky came into World Horse Welfare (penny Farm)

Starsky's mother came to penny Farm as part of a shocking welfare case in 2004.She was one of 18 ponies seized from a farm,where they were in a state of emaciation,and taken to Penny farm. Four of these proved to be mares in foal, but because they were terrible thin and suffering from worms,it took a lot of hard work from their dedicated team to ensure all of the mares and their four foals survived.

Update

Starsky has been out on loan as part of youngster handling programme and is now back at Penny Farm for the intensive training he will need to become a ridden pony.
From such a shaky start in life, Starsky is doing very well, but he will need all the support from Penny Farm in the future.
Starsky is doing well with his training, he is being lunged and long reined and doing other basic groundwork exercise, to prepare him for ridden work. He is also doing some polework to develop his muscles and circular poles to help him learn how to bend. he has excepted his saddle and bridle and will soon be ready to be ridden for the first time
