I'd love someone's advice. Every time I drive to Tesco in Dursley (glos) I pass this house which is an ordinary suburban home but with a somewhat scruffy garden with a skip, children's trampoline and other messy stuff in it.
Sometimes, but not always, when I pass it the gates are shut and there is a palomino pony living in the garden surrounded by all this clutter. The low wall around the garden could be jumped by the tiniest of ponies but this one seems to stay put.
I suspect that any horse charities wouldn't be able to help because the pony has grass to eat and, I presume, has access to water and I have to admit the pony looks in perfectly good health.
But I just feel that this is no way to keep a pony and, although he seems in good enough health at the moment, with owners that don't seem to know enough about how a pony should be kept, I worry about him in time to come.
Does anyone have any advice as to what I could do to help - I don't have the space, nor a child to ride him, to take him on myself. Am I just being a busy body?
