A look at Eggsy's year ~ 2017

2017 kicked off with Eggsy's 2nd (official) birthday, we don't actually know his real date of birth so he gets to celebrate with the Thoroughbreds on 1st January 

In February we made long term plans for educating Eggsy

March and time to sort out those encysted small redworm an essential part of horse care   

Easter 2017 was in April 

May & we took a look at a day in the life of a rescue pony 

Eggsy had a visitor in June 

July was a difficult month what with Houdini Eggsy & the theft of our vehicle which was thankfully recovered 

August saw the adventures of destructor pony!

Incredibly September passed without a single photograph of Eggsy being taken we made up for it in October though when we managed to get some adorable pics of him literally lying in his breakfast! 

November saw the launch of Eggsy's fundraising blog shop 

and then it was Christmas !

31st December,

Old Year's Night, 

New Year's Eve 

and we present a random selection of Eggsy photographs grabbed from each month without thinking too much about the choice ~ so nice to look back on 2017.

We do something similar each year so if you'd like you can see Eggsy's

Boxing Day ~ The feast day of St Stephen

December 26th the day after Christmas, we in the UK know it as Boxing Day others the feast of St Stephen, patron Saint of horses. In recent years it's become almost synonymous with the post Christmas sales but it wasn't always like that.

It was once the day when alms boxes were emptied and gifts of money, collected throughout the year, distributed amongst the poorer folk of the community. 

St Stephen's day was a day when one helped those less fortunate than oneself, remember the Christmas carol Good King Wenceslas?

Good King Wenceslas looked out, on the Feast of Stephen,

When the snow lay round about, deep and crisp and even,

How he and his page gathered fuel & food to give a poor man warmth and a feast?

Ye who now shall bless the poor, shall yourself find blessing.

Wouldn't it be a little bit marvellous to help some horses on this day, St Stephen's Day, the patron saint of horses day? Especially as this year it also happens to fall on a #CharityTuesday.

So we'll be sending our donation from sales in Eggsy Pony Shop over to Bodmin Moorland Pony Rehabilitation to help toward their horrendous vet bills following an outbreak of strangles. You probably have your own favourite horse rescue who would be very grateful for a little financial assistance at this time of year when feed costs soar. 

Let's make it a new Boxing Day tradition to give to the horses!

Mend a quarrel.

Seek out a forgotten friend.

Write a love letter.

Share some treasure.

Give a soft answer.

Encourage youth.

Keep a promise.

Find the time.

Forgive an enemy.

Listen.

Apologize if you were wrong.
