Nia and Netty

Nia and her Welsh filly foal Netty

This winter, we took in two mares with their foals at foot from two separate welfare cases.

Nia was the first mare to arrive, with her beautiful two month old Welsh filly foal Netty. They were part of a large multi-agency rescue and arrived at our Beech Trees Veterinary and Welfare Centre on the 8th November.

On arrival, unhandled Nia was nervous. But thanks to the care and dedication of her groom Kayleigh, Nia is growing in confidence. She now trusts Kayleigh and is more open to explore new interactions.

While Netty, who settled in quickly, is playful and full of energy. Our grooms love watching her run in the field and interacting with her dam and our other young foal Chandler.
