Princess Anne Adopts Rescue Horse

A Welsh cob called Annie has landed on her feet. The 14-year-old, who has been in the care of World Horse Welfare (UK) for the past three years, has been adopted by Princess Anne and will live out her days hacking around Gatcombe Park, reports horseandhound.co.uk.

The mare’s adoption coincides with World Horse Welfare’s urgent re-homing campaign. This year there’s been a dramatic 32% drop in re-homing figures, while taking in 23% more horses than in 2012.
