Scots pony 'falls in love' after being rehomed by rescuers

A Scots pony has 'fell in love ' after being rehomed with another rescue horse.

Nash was saved by the SSPCA after his owner became unable to look after him in November 2019.

The four-year-old Welsh pony had experienced little human handling which left him shy and unsure when he arrived at the rehoming centre in Aberdeen.

But after training his 'sweet nature' stood out and he was rehomed with fellow rescue horse Tina.

Soon the 'smitten' pair became inseparable and are 'constantly nuzzling each other'.

Nash 'fell head over heels' for the Shetland pony who he has made 'his queen'.

Scottish SPCA senior animal care assistant, Laura Hopkins, said, “In September 2020 a lovely lady named Emma came to visit Nash and it was love at first sight!

“Emma had previously rehomed a Shetland pony named Tina from us in 2014.

"After several meetings Emma took Nash home in October.

“Nash has settled in to his new home wonderfully and both ponies are doing amazingly well.

“We are told that he has taken his spot as the King of the field, and Tina is his smitten Queen!

"They are constantly nuzzling each other.

"I think it’s safe to say they have fallen head over heels for each other!

“Nash has had his cheeky moments of misbehaving but his new owner loves his personality and wouldn’t have him any other way”.
