Champy the pony

Abbi shows us how she looks after her beautiful pony Champy, and Rob the farrier comes to the farm to give him new shoes. We join Abbi and her mum as they get Champy's breakfast ready, and afterwards, Abbi gets on her protective clothing and goes for a ride out into a nearby field, with her mum leading Champy and her little brother Dougie walking alongside. On the ride Abbi and Dougie have fun making pony noises - you can join in too! When they return to the farm, Rob the farrier has arrived to give Champy his new shoes. He explains why it's important that horses' and ponies' feet have horseshoes to protect them, and we hear how he prepares the new horseshoes and nails them on. Champy doesn't mind, it doesn't hurt his feet, and he's used to it. And Abbi's happy because Rob gives her one of the old horseshoes to keep.
