It’s with a VERY heavy heart we have had to say goodbye to our dear Fudge, who had been with us at Diamond for over 20 years.
At 27 years old, she was the centre’s longest-serving pony and a true favourite among riders and volunteers alike. Known for her calm, kind and laid-back nature, Fudge was a steady and reliable presence, especially valued in hippotherapy sessions and for helping nervous or first-time riders. She played a vital role in teaching children to ride and volunteers to lead, always offering comfort and confidence with her gentle spirit. Fudge also loved being part of ‘tea with a pony’ and grooming sessions, where her affectionate personality shone through. During her 20 happy years at Diamond, Fudge patiently taught so many people not only to ride, but to groom, tack up, clip and lead. Fudge touched so many people’s hearts and we will miss her.
