😪 It's a very sad day for all of us here at Arion Farm Park. Our precious pony Murphy passed away quietly at the equine vet last night, with his best buddy Tonto by his side.
We will remember him as the very nice and gentle natured pony and anyone who will have met him, and the kids that he took for pony rides would remember.
He was over 20 years old and has been a part of our lives for many years.
Rest in peace, dear boy 🐴
