Sad post alert 😢
Best friends Buttercup and Bluebell will be moving on from Green Dragon Eco Farm on Tuesday 27th July...
Regular visitors may know, but Buttercup has suffered with minor bouts of laminitis over previous years, and although she has generally been happy and healthy, more recently the laminitis has become a lot worse. This has resulted in both ponies requiring more bed rest and specialist care, meaning less paddock time and grooming time.
They’ve both enjoyed a wonderful six years here at the Farm, however they have always been on loan to us from the Blue Cross. After working with the Blue Cross and our Vets, we have decided that the best future for Buttercup and Bluebell is for them to return to the Blue Cross Sanctuary in Burford where they have the specialist equine facilities to support a treatment plan moving forward.
It was important to us that the ponies remain together, which they 100% will do, and we will be given regular updates. We are of course incredibly to see them leave us, but this is definitely the best thing for them.
You’ll be able to say your goodbyes to both ponies from today until end of Monday as they head for their new home early Tuesday morning
We’ll miss you Buttercup and Bluebell, you cheeky mischievous beauties 🥰
