Check out this new poem by Grace Bailey - we just love it, Well done!

Finnegan!

He trots in the fields,
Tall and proud,
A tri-coloured cob,
Who stands out from the crowd.

He wasn't wanted,
But I've no idea why,
Just to mount on his back,
Would make me touch the sky!

I don't understand,
Why you could be so cruel,
To leave three horses,
In a field or stall.

If you see him then,
and think, how could they do that?
Well you should see him now!

His coat shall gleam forever more,
His eyes shall shine with love and trust,
His mind shall walk free,
From dusk to dawn,

Finnegan,
Is my favourite boy,
The friendly cob,
Full of JOY!

Check out this poem by Caitlin Cartright - we think it's brill!

I stand alone,
in a field of yellow flowers,
the grass has all gone,
i just wait for the showers.

My owners have left me,
to live in the wild,
with no mum and no friends,
how will I survive?

But there's hope still to come,
Redwings are here,
and with their team by my side,
there's nothing to fear.

So now I'm standing here,
in a field with my friends,
the grass here is rich,
and the feed never ends.

Here's a great entry, from Rebecca Holm, age 9. Thanks Rebecca!

I live in a field of fresh green grass,

With my bestest buddy.

I saw the family I saw last week

and they're coming straight towards me!

I trot happily around

And put my face over the fance.

They stroked me very gently,

So I wouldn't be tense!

And here's a fab drawing of Adoption pony Dolly from the Redwings Ada Cole Rescue Centre in Essex. The artist is Kathryn Compton - well done Kathryn!
