Heard this on the radio... From the rspca website

We are appealing for information after a healthy and seemingly well-cared for pony was found tied to a fence in Dinton, near Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire.



The pony, who has been named Brandon by animal centre staff, was discovered on Saturday morning (23 January) on Ford Road. It is thought he was left some time between 11pm on Friday evening and 8am on Saturday morning.


Brandon
Brandon is a gelding dark bay adult with three white feet, possibly aged between six and eight years old.


He measures approximately 14 hands and was wearing a black head collar with a red lead rope. He was wearing horseshoes on his front feet.


The pony was timid and frightened at first, but seems used to being handled and is well-behaved.



RSPCA Inspector Will Rippon said:

It is unusual for a healthy and otherwise well-cared for animal to be abandoned in this way.

It seems that whoever dumped the pony did want him to be found but people must realise that it is not acceptable to just dump an unwanted animal.

Brandon has been moved to a charity in Oxfordshire where he will be cared for until his owners can be found, or a new home can be found.


Can you help?
Anyone with information about where Brandon came from or who his owners may be should contact us in confidence on 0300 1234 999.

Pictures can been seen on http://www.rspca.org.uk/media/news/story/-/article/EM_MysterySurroundsAbandonedPonyJan10

He looks a real sweetie hope his owners are found soon.

I hate to cynical but if someone who cares for him dumped him where he would be found they will hardly come forward if he is being cared for. Another victim of the credit crunch perhaps?

Might it be worth ringing around local sanctuaries and asking if anyone has been asked to take in a pony matching his description recently?
