Zoe Foal with Jenny and Thunder
Valentine's Day 2008
From the early 70's Jenny's dream of having her own stable of friends, both human and animal, began to materialize.
Ever since her teenage years Jenny could be counted on for "babysitting" and taking care of sick or wounded animals. Her two great loves, children and horses, were destined to merge in the enterprise we now know as the Pet Pony Equestrian Training Centre for children. Though a proud mother and grandmother herself, Jenny has always been surrounded by an extended family of pupils, many of whom have grown up and now send their own children to experience something of their parents' lifestyle at Jenny's famous Yard. (And not even on a computer!)
It is worth noting, that since rescuing her first abused pony, she has unselfishly saved many others from a life of misery, or worse, to become the most adored and grateful creatures ever to be blessed and surrounded by a throng of caring playmates - Jenny's little riders.
In a nutshell, it's all about DEDICATION.
Jenny has recently designed a special Sunday training course, ECCC (Equestrian Care, Compassion and Communication ... or any other good words beginning with C,relevant to both PEOPLE and HORSES). It draws upon her own invaluable experience and horse knowledge of a lifetime.
