Help Given to Abandoned Pony
Morris the Welsh pony.
Morris, a Welsh Section C, was rescued in 2008 by the Horse Rescue Fund after his owner stopped looking after him. On arrival at the Horse Rescue Fund’s base in Suffolk, Morris was diagnosed with cataracts in both eyes.
An appeal to raise funds to pay for Morris to have his cataracts removed was launched and by the end of 2009, more than £5,000 had been donated, enabling the pony to have his much needed surgery.
His first eye was operated on in November 2008. The cataract was removed and a synthetic lens placed inside the eye. A year later, members and supporters of the Horse Rescue Fund had raised almost enough money to enable Morris to have his second cataract removed.
Sue Albone, of the Horse Rescue Fund, said: “People have been very generous. We almost raised enough money to give Morris full sight so I contacted the AHT to see if there was anyway they could help.”
Companies marketing medicines for small pets exempt from authorisation must submit their annual return to the Veterinary Medicines Directorate (VMD) by 30 November 2026.
