Dawn Vincent, director of fundraising and communications for the charity, described Arty as a gentle pony with a distinctive personality who quickly won the hearts of those involved. The charity expressed excitement about Arty’s future and the next steps in his care.

Arty was found alongside a pregnant mare who has since given birth to a colt. The mare, named Flor, and her foal, Martis, are set to be rehomed with the Bristol-based charity Horse World.
