This is Lunesdale Black Beauty, a Fell Pony who is more commonly known as Orphan Annie. She is 16 years of age, and stands at 14hh. For the last six years, Orphan Annie has been owned by June Pye. Together they are very happy hackers, riding all over Cumbria and also going on various holidays with each other. Annie hasn’t always had such a lovely life, she was made an orphan after her mother was struck by lightning on the fells at Tebay. Annie was found lying next to her mother’s body in an extremely weak condition. Luckily she was rescued and then hand reared and nurtured back to health.
June explains: “Orphan Annie is a very affectionate pony with a really sweet temperament and a slightly cheeky attitude! She will often jump a small electric fence in her paddock in order to reach the verdant sheep grazing pasture on the other side. We are very thankful for the care that she received as a foal, otherwise she would not be with us today.” 
“Together we have hacked the highest viaduct in the United Kingdom, and have participated in a number of charity rides and sponsored rides. Also, we have won several show awards at local level. Feedmark’s ExtraFlex Ha with Rosehips keeps Annie hacking for miles and miles! Thank you Feedmark. Our aims for the future are to continue hacking and having so much fun.” A FREE 1.35kg tub of ExtraFlex HA with Rosehips is on its way to Orphan An
