Rescue foal Ziggy, in Laragh, Co Wicklow

On Saturday 27th February a pony was seen loose on Maoilin Hill, near Laragh [Co Wicklow]. Upon inspection it turned out that it was a foal presumed born late last year, maybe August /September.
But we were unable to get near him as he seems to not have been handled before, so we left out hay and feed in a hope that we could get its trust over a few days and catch it later, but sadly the foal got a fright and went off into the forest where we lost sight of him.
6 days later and a lot of lost sleep, he was seen again.
So I put together a group of people and two very quiet horses that he would follow and managed to get him to a yard where we could then get him in to a stable, which is where he is now.
We have named him Ziggy. We could really do with getting him a forever home, but failing that we would be interested in a sponsor, maybe a company like Glanbia, or Gain or such like so we can keep him ourselves without too much a financial burden.
This morning.

The movements of the wild Konik horses are beautiful. In reverse it even looks like they are dancing.

We thought your readers might like to see what goes on in Dublin’s suburbs on a Saturday night….one minute you’re in the shower getting ready for a night on the town, next thing a call comes in about a small foal, abandoned in Neilstown, Clondalkin.
And this (above) is what we found, we called him Oisín. He was so cold and underweight, the best place for him turned out to be his foster’s kitchen! So far so good, he is doing well, he is on special feed and veterinary care, and under a heat lamp in a stable.
It’s been an eventful week, as usual, on Wednesday we also had to deal with a stallion stuck in railings (this is the second horse we’ve has to rescue from railings).
All this costs us money, so if your readers would like to support us, get down to the upstairs of Foley’s bar, off Baggot St for a Table Quiz, Thursday, 26th Feb @ 7.30pm – table of 4 is €60 but that includes finger food and a great night is in store. Cathy Davey & Neil Hannon will be doing music rounds.
Book your table by emailing mylovelyhorserescue@gmail.com. Sure what else would you be doing? Thank you.
