But last Christmas, Natalie King contacted the charity as her cob Domino had lost his best friend and was “struggling” on his own. “I contacted Blue Cross and they matched us with Pumpkin who was looking for a home as a non-ridden companion. Happy days – they really liked each other. “And that wasn’t the only ‘Yes’ Natalie was saying,” a Blue Cross spokesperson said. Then my husband Ben and I had pictures with Pumpkin, Domino and ex-racehorse Benji (Old Beginnings), who had returned home from his retraining yard.
