Dinky
Background
Dinky came to us through an RSPCA second chance scheme, run in partnership with the British Horse Society to rehome rescued horses into BHS Approved Centres. She arrived needing time, patience, and careful handling to build her confidence around people and in her work. With consistent support and training, she continues to grow in experience and trust.

About
Dinky is an RSPCA rescue pony who has developed into a reliable partner for Pony Club activities and for children learning to ride. While she took time to settle, she now enjoys having a job to do and brings a forward, willing attitude to her work, helping young riders develop their skills and confidence.
Personality Quirks
Dinky has a strong opinion when it comes to grooming, she’s not a fan of having her tail brushed and much prefers the natural, muddy pony look. On the ground she is affectionate and food-motivated, with a real love of treats and cuddles, making her easy to win over.
Why we Love them
We love Dinky for how far she has come. Watching her grow in confidence and become a trusted pony for young riders has been incredibly rewarding. Her forward nature, sweet personality, and love of attention make her a much-loved member of the yard.
