Tufty on TV!
Some of you may know our retired adoption donkey, Tufty. Well Tufty is now a world famous TV star! Well maybe not quite world famous! Tufty was recently featured on an episode of BBC 2’s Escape To The Country. Tufty of course took to being on TV like a duck to water! He was fabulous and of course won over the entire film crew while some of the other younger and cheekier donkeys tried to have a nibble of their fluffy microphone! As a retired adoptee Tufty prefers a quieter life these days but you can have a sneaky peak at him at the Hapton Open Weekend 17th – 18th July!
Competition time!
You’ll be pleased to know Red is ready to launch a brand new and exciting competition! Red was so impressed with the entries he received for the photography competition that he ran last year, he has decided to launch a brand shiny new one! This year’s theme is ‘Fab Friends’. We want your pictures of horses, ponies and donkeys with their best friends. The animals can be Redwings residents, your own horse or even a friend’s horse. Just be sure to ask permission from whoever owns the horse before taking its picture!
The competition will be split into three categories according to age groups:
Age 8 and Under
Age 9 – 12
Age 13 and Over.
There will be a super first prize in each age group and each runner up will receive a free online adoption for a year! Cool stuff hey?
The competition will run until January 15th 2011 so you’ve got loads of time to get out there and get snapping! Once you think you’ve got a great picture send it with your name, address and age to

The Redwings Show!
You may or may not know that we recently held our second ever Redwings Show. On the 9th May 2010 we took over the equestrian centre at Easton College to put on our show. The day was a great success with over 150 competitors coming along.
There were many different classes throughout the day ranging from Working Hunter, Ridden classes, In – Hand classes and some slightly more entertaining ones such as Handsomest Gelding and Thelwell pony! Quite a few Redwings Ponies came along for the day with their guardians so it was lovely to see them all looking so happy and healthy. It was great to see all the smiling children with their very cheeky ponies!
