Thank you 😊

Yes they are! 🥰 We rescued one from being tied to a gate near a fast road & the other was rescued from being shot at 6 months old 😳 They live happily at our sanctuary, for the rest of their days. They both have extra needs, so it takes lots of care, special diet & expert farriery to keep them well!
