Billy Bean
Grey/brown gelding - Born 1993
In 2004 he came from a farm park in Wales which had lost all their livestock during the foot and mouth outbreak in 2001. As he missed all the attention from the visitors he was beginning to misbehave and becoming quite a handful, therefore we were asked to take him in. Sasha is now his best buddy.
Year of Birth: 1993
