AT the grand old age of 20, Welsh pony Millie's riding days are definitely over.
Crippled and recovering from neglect, she needs someone to give her a comfortable home where she can see out the rest of her days
Millie was taken in by Kate Wilson, who runs a rescue centre at Ramshaw, near Bishop Auckland, and she will be ready to leave after she has seen the blacksmith and horse dentist.
Kate said: "She is a very sweet-natured mare and would make a lovely pet. She is very low maintenance and needs very little looking after, but she is a wonderful companion.
"Her leg has been bent since she was a foal, but she was still ridden. She has had a hard life and deserves a rest. She will be around for another ten years, given a bit of kindness."
Anyone who can offer Millie a home is asked to contact (01388) 834644
