Buster the pony who was left at a Bristol bus stop, has found a new home — thanks to Horse & Hound’s online plea.
The 34-in grey Shetland was rescued by equine charity HorseWorld last October. He was found abandoned at a bus stop in Bristol’s city centre, being tormented by children.

After being rehabilitated, the 22-year-old has now moved to his new home.
“We are so glad Buster has found a lovely new home,” said a HorseWorld spokesman.
“He is such a cheeky little character and will love the fuss and attention he’ll get.
“Thank you to Horse & Hound for publishing his story. If it wasn’t for that article, his new loaners may never have spotted him.”

Buster’s loaners picked him up yesterday (Wednesday 12 February).
