Today we went out to see ERF pony Perry who has been with his adoptive family for a year now. The first thing I noticed straight away was how svelte perry was now looking compared to the rather rotund pony of last year.

As an association, if an animal is accepted into the lifetime care of ERF, we follow through on that responsibility to the best of our ability.
When we homecheck a potential guardian, they must comply with the criteria we specify before we will allow an equine to go under their care.
The animal is passported into our ownership and remains in our name, and our property. Unlike some associations,...
