“Dear Friends

It is with a very heavy heart that I write this letter to you. My darling, wonderful, valiant little stallion, Nefydd Buccaneer (Bucky), is in the hospital in Barcelona. He is gravely ill. Through no fault of his own or of anyone else, he has contracted the worst form of laminitis possible.

I am fighting for him, for his life. We all are. He has given so much pleasure to so many people; he has been a joy to watch in the ring, in his stable, in his paddock, with “his children”. This little stallion deserves to live he has never put a foot wrong in his life.

He was operated on Friday the 1st. of June on all four feet. This immensely brave pony wants to live. The signs are all there. He knows us all, he looks for us. He is eating and searching for more carrots all the time. The staff in the hospital love him and each and everyone of them takes him carrots each day. One of his carers rang me to say he will be so fed up of carrots by the end of all this he will never want to see another one. He is interested and animated. He also suffers a lot a pain which at times is hard for him to bear, but he does. He is just amazing.

He is very ill but with the help of us all, from the fantastic and competent staff in the hospital at Bellaterra, to the most humble donation, I feel so strongly that we can save him. It would be such a great loss to the world of ponies if we don't.

I am writing quite unashamedly to ask you for help, for the smallest donation to the largest. Every € counts, every € or dollar or pound is one unit closer to being able to save him. He has to stay in the hospital for at least eight weeks. The costs are very high.

You will be able to see it with your own eyes by visiting www.cavahorse.com/bucky where every week you will be able to see if it was worthwhile to help with your contribution to the most beautiful, affectionate and brave of the ponis.

Please, please help save Bucky…
