The Queen’s Highland ponies to help raise vital funds for grass sickness

Highland ponies belonging to The Queen are among those due to star in a charity calendar raising vital funds for and awareness of grass sickness.

Heald Town Highland Pony Stud, owned by Carolyn and Melody Ashcroft, is creating its annual calendar in aid of the Moredun Foundation Equine Grass Sickness Fund (EGSF), for which they raised over £4,200 last year.

The 2021 calendar will feature Heald Town stallions seven-year-old Ghamjon Ernie and four-year-old Glenmuick of Coynach, and some of the stud’s foals. It will also again feature some of The Queen’s Highland ponies from Balmoral Stud, managed by Sylvia Ormiston.
