Thank yous and what your donations are spent on

Hello I'm soo overdue with my thank you's so a huge thank you to Philomena, Diane, Elizabeth, Leighton, Veronica, Graham and dear anonymous  for your donations towards Eggsy's keep over the last couple of months or so.

I also need to thank Forelock & Fringe and Kath Smart for the fabulous box of goodies won in a Twitter giveaway way back in May

and Equi-Signs for the gift of this sign that will help to keep me safe. 

Thank you very much indeed.

All these thank you's have made me think that you'd probably be interested in knowing what your donated money buys, so here goes:

£5 will buy a feed / water bucket, Eggsy goes through quite a lot of these ~ those hooves!

Or a bag of HoneyChop chaff, well actually it's a little more than a fiver now.

£10 will buy a bag of oats or beet or bran

£12 buys the yummy alfalfa pellets and £15 would buy the Rowan Barbary Mash Eggsy has when the weather conditions get harsh and he needs a little extra help with feeds.

£15 will also buy some wormers though this one is £20 & necessary at least annually for encysted red worm.

£20 buys a bag of micronized linseed.

Hooves are £20 a trim every 6 to 8 weeks depending on hoof growth, Graham is kindly sponsoring this until the end of this year, thank you Graham.

£50 buys a bale of haylage, at current weight of bale Eggsy eats a bale and a half a month ( Wish I hadn't just worked that out that's £75 a month on haylage alone!)

Tetanus shots, every other year, including the vet call out fee comes in at just under £80 as does yearly teeth rasping. 

All a bit scary really when you start to see how much a pony costs to keep, thank you for your continued support, we couldn't do this without you. 

About Eggsy:

Eggsy is a rescue pony he was abandoned and left to starve by his owners as a foal. His care is funded by donations.

Would you like to help Eggsy? 

Eggsy has a GoFundMe campaign to help raise funds for his care, we'd be really grateful if you'd go take a look, share it far and wide via your social media and of course if you can spare some money please donate.
