Snow? No thanks!

Hi everyone it’s your favourite pony blogger here!

I would like to say a HUGE pony thank you to everyone who voted for Calvert Trust Exmoor in the Peoples Millions. Teddy said that means more people can come and see me (and the other horses!). 

__________

The weather is getting colder and all us horses and ponies are now wearing our Winter Woolies in the fields.

Here's me looking gorgeous in my Winter Woolies!

I overheard the stables staff say they were preparing for snow.  I remember the white stuff from last year and have every intention of being tucked up in my stable nice and cosy, watching the snow fall through the window!!

I know I'm a tough little shetland but I'm too small to be outside when it snows; I'm so close to the ground my tummy gets cold very quickly!

Did you see me on TV?

Did you watch our film on ITV WestCountry news?

I don't have a TV so I haven't seen it; The film crew from ITV who made it were lovely and took lots of film in the stables, but they said it will only be 90 seconds long, so us horses are dying to know who made it into the film!

I hope it was me; I'm definitely the best looking horse at Calvert Trust Exmoor!

gorgeous aren't I!

Anyway, its not too late to vote yet, lines are open until midnight; please call 0871 62 68 104 to register your vote! you can vote 10 times from each phone; thank you for your help.

I need your help today!

Hi Folks, its me again, the Mighty Atom!

Today is our big day, its People's Millions day! Please can you vote for us, and so the lovely staff here can use the money we will win to support people like my friend Charlie?

I heard the stables staff saying you can vote up to 10 times from any phone, to vote call 0871 62 68 104.

If I could, I would, but horses aren't allowed to use phones! can you please do it for me instead? Thanks folks!

Can you do me a favour?

Can I ask a very big favour of you?

I understand now that us horses here at Calvert Trust Exmoor can’t vote BUT I wondered if you would vote for us?

I've heard that people are allowed to do more than one vote, which got me thinking…

...would you mind voting on my behalf?   Apparently everyone can vote more than once, so if you could do some voting for all of us in the stables we all would be very happy indeed!

Thanks so much – we will all keep our hooves crossed!

 

Please Vote! Thanks!

I'm going to need your help...

I was very excited last time I did the blog but I must admit to being a little disappointed today.

Why is that you might ask?   
   
Well last time I told you about the People’s Millions and asked if you could vote for us on Monday 25th November – I’m sure you all will if you can. Well it seems only right that I should ‘do my bit’ and was quite ready to do my share of voting.    

All ready to do my bit

But I was chatting to Hendrix and Brin yesterday about voting, Teddy took me to one side & told me that us horses aren’t allowed to vote!! 

Now that doesn’t seem quite fair; what do you think?

However, Teddy is usually right about everything, so he must be right about this. What a pity!

Exciting Times!

I’ve just heard about a very, very exciting project for the Calvert Trust Exmoor which I've just got to tell you about!!!!
It’s called the ‘People’s Millions’  which in its self sounds very grand & exciting!  

Well Calvert Trust Exmoor is in the running to receive a grant which the folks here would put to very good use. Teddy told me that ‘The People’s Millions’ is a grants programme funded by the ‘Big Lottery Fund’ and apparently the winners are decided by a public vote!   

Now at first I thought Teddy meant that just the good folks of Devon would be voting; but he told me that the whole of the UK will be voting! WOW!!!!!

It’s all happening on November 25th,  and he said that we will be on T.V.; another WOW!!    

He said that we need everyone we know to vote and to get their friends and family to vote, and anyone else they might know to vote…

...would you please vote for us? 

I’d be ever so pleased if you would and do ask all people you know to vote as well.  If you want to know more about this then have a look on our website as I'm sure all the details will be there.

THANK YOU VERY, VERY MUCH ALL OF YOU!       

Tired but Jolly Happy!

Yours truly is feeling a bit tired BUT jolly happy! Why’s that you may ask?

Well we’ve been very busy at Calvert Trust Exmoor with another Open Day.  It was great, we saw lots of people at the stables & the weather even behaved itself (or for most of the time anyway!)

I have to be honest, I didn’t have to do any carriage driving like Hendrix or Maxwell, but I was greeting all the folks as a representative of Calvert Trust Stables. 

Were you there? Did you have a great time?  I hope so! If you want to know when the next Open Day is keep an eye on our website for news of events coming up, like our facebook page or follow us on twitter; you could check them out (once you’ve read my blog of course!) 

We also had a group of lovely folks on a Horse Experience Weekend and I did some of my agility work with them;  they all did well and it was great to feel them get more confident as they progressed on the agility course.    

That’s why I’m a tired but happy pony; but all I need is a day off in my field and I’ll be ‘ready to rock’ again!

Just what I need after a busy weekend!
