Giuseppe the Elf
2018 | Piebald | Gypsy Cob | Under 12.2hh
Giuseppe will soon be started under saddle, preparing him to join our Loanie Pony scheme.
We will then be finding him a little jockey to take him on adventures.
The story so far...
Giuseppe was found by a member of the public one wintry night, just before Christmas, in December of 2018 and reported to the RSPCA. He was less than 6 months old and had been left alone, tied to a lamp post in a South Cleveland town. It is almost certain that he was abandoned because he was male and surplus to requirements.
We wanted a Christmas themed name and Giuseppe is Italian for Joseph – it suited him perfectly.
Giuseppe was hypothermic, hungry and thirsty on arrival however, he was otherwise healthy and thankfully responded well to expert care and lots of TLC.
A look back to a very happy, young ‘Giuseppe the Elf’
He is now very grown-up and settled in a herd of other ponies of similar age – he is in fact the boss of the group.
Giuseppe has always loved attention; he is very bright and full of character – always one of the first to meet you at the gate!
