BRACKEN

Bracken was, without a doubt, going to be put down. Having been rescued once, his owner was then going to emigrate. Because of Bracken’s chequered past and his ‘sweet itch’ problem she could not bear to home him anywhere and said she preferred to have him humanely put to sleep than maybe suffer at the hands of someone else again. We could not turn him down, so here he is, a very popular pony with lots of spirit.
