This is Beatty, a disabled pony from Bristol who is once again enjoying life outdoors - after the public helped replace her stolen eye mask.

Beatty, which was rescued by Horse World in 2004, has an eye condition which means that she has to wear a special mask to block UV rays and flies.

Without this mask, she would eventually go blind. The Horse World staff discovered Beatty’s mask had been stolen overnight meaning she could no longer go out in bright sunlight and had to spend her days in the barn while her friends were out running in the fields.

“We are very grateful to Guardian Mask and to the public who responded with public donations.

Many of our rescued horses have very specific problems that can be difficult to treat and need specialist equipment that can be difficult to obtain”.

When we found it had been stolen, we were so disappointed but the generosity of our supporters in response to this restores your faith in humankind.
