Berry
- Registered Name: Berry Bella
- Age: 01 January 2015
- Gender: Mare
- Colour: Black
- Breed: Welsh Cob
- Height: 15’1hh
- Deceased: 09 February 2023 (8 years)
Berry was a lovely pony who was besotted with any attention and treats, she loved her work as a Dressage pony but a reoccurring genetic leg tissue/ligament issue even after an partially successful operation was not compatible with the well-being of Berry. Muchly missed Mare.
