‘This is Monty, our rescue pony. He is the most gentle natured and loving pony. When Monty originally came to us, he was frightened, scared and not used to a lot of human contact. My mum spent a lot of time individually with him gaining his trust and he soon settled in with the other ponies. We have spent a lot of time with Monty working in an arena where he now jumps over poles well. Our goal for next year is to take him showing. He is a credit to Exmoor ponies and a credit to us. We are so proud and pleased that he is part of our family.’ — Melissa Hocking-Carter
