Footballing pony at Redwings

Pinocchio was rescued by Redwings Horse Sanctuary from a farm in Buckinghamshire in the UK along with 96 other ponies and donkeys in January 2008 in a joint operation with the RSPCA and a number of other welfare organisations.
Miniature Shetland pony Pinocchio was a year old when he was rescued from Spindle Farm, Amersham and he weighed just 46kg on arrival, equivalent to two bags of feed. He doubled his weight in the following ten months. As well as being painfully thin, Pinocchio had lice, breathing problems, wasted muscles and he was riddled with worms. Fully recovered and after lots of TLC in Redwings' care, Pinocchio is now full of personality and has discovered a knack for football that would make Sir Alex Ferguson reach for his chequebook!
