I’d love you to sponsor me - it will help with my food (and shampoo) bill.

Psst, Hello Everyone, I’m Macie. I’m a bit of a sensitive pony and a bit shy at times, but I’m going to tell you all about myself because I would love you to sponsor me. I’m a white grey mare, and really a lady shouldn’t reveal all her secrets, but here goes anyway.

I’m 14.2hh and was born in 1996. I’m a beautiful white colour, and am described as a cob. I know I’ve got a pretty face but I’m not really keen on the hairy look so I like to have my mane pulled and my legs trimmed to keep me looking my best. I do have a bit of hair on my chin that has to come off occasionally too but that really is a girly secret - so don’t pass it round!

I’ve been at Barrow Farm since 2004 but I’m not your average RDA pony. I don’t like a lot of noise or fuss and everything has to be just right for me. Nevertheless, I have carved out a nice little career for myself here because I’m honest and kind and I’m good at helping those riders who are quiet and balanced. I have a comfortable trot and I’ve been known to help some riders with their trot work and I’m allowed to work off lead with some of my more able riders.

A typical day for me starts with coming in from the field to my spacious stable and starting the morning off with a generous portion of hay. Then I’ll be spruced up for the start of the working day. (There’s often a shriek of horror when they see how muddy I am! - they should know that blondes are often high maintenance). There’s an array of shampoo’s, conditioners, whiteners, sponges and brushes with my name on them in the tack room - just to keep me looking lovely.

I will be taken down to the riding school where I will stand beautifully in line with the others, ready to greet my rider. I will probably work with two riders (not at the same time though he,he,he). After lunch its time to catch up on some beauty sleep before working with an off lead rider where I will do quite a bit of trotting. Then I’ll probably get taken out for a hack by the Barrow Farm staff or do a spot of schooling to keep me fit and supple. . Teatime comes in the shape of being turned out into the field with my friends where I daintily nibble away all night. Aah, bliss.

I’d love you to sponsor me - it will help with my food (and shampoo) bill.

Love Macie
