Two rescue ponies’ ‘antics’ inspire new children’s book series

Two rescue ponies who featured on BBC Countryfile are now starring in a series of children’s books.

Huckleberry and Dash were rescued by World Horse Welfare in 2016. Huckleberry, who was just a few months old, was found tethered alone on a rubbish dump next to the remains of another horse and Dash was taken into the charity’s care after a field officer discovered him as “skin and bones”.

After completing rehabilitation at the charity they were rehomed together in August 2016 by Samantha Perry of Hertfordshire.

Samantha said: “When I saw them both on the website they were so adorable and reading about the bond they have inspired me. Also, I have a little boy who when they were backed would be able to grow up with them and enjoy riding them.
