Welcome to a very late May newsletter, we left you in April saying this one would be all about Eggsy’s birthday and we’ve only just got here in time, his birthday is tomorrow!
There’s a story behind Eggsy celebrating his birthday on May 28th, we don't actually know when Eggsy was born so up until last year we only ever celebrated his "birthday" with an extra carrot on two on 1st January which is the official birthday for Thoroughbreds in the Northern Hemisphere. Yes, just like His Majesty the King Thoroughbred horses have two birthdays, the actual day of their birth and an official birthday.
We don't know exactly when Eggsy was abandoned either, but we do know that his former owners, those who abandoned him to die, moved on 28th May. Last year having come up with the idea of celebrating Eggsy's birthday on the 28th May, as that's a date when his life really did begin to change, we asked his Ko-fi supporters and Twitter followers if they thought it was a good idea and they agreed. So that is the story behind Eggsy’s 28th of May birthday.
He will of course have a little party with lots of treats, you’re all invited to join him to celebrate the day on Ko-fi, which is where we mostly blog these days. Hope to see you there for a “carrotini” or two…
In other news, this month we finally plucked up courage to admit that keeping Eggsy at livery is causing financial woes. In a bid to ensure the ongoing financial security needed to enable Eggsy to stay with his horsey friends we announced Eggsy Pony's new subscription service.
This tiered system builds on Eggsy's existing Ko-fi to offer a range of perks, including receiving real cards through your letterbox, in exchange for your support. Click to find out more here if you’re interested.
May has pretty much sped by in a froth of cow parsley for us, much of it being taken up with nursing a poorly Mr Boo who has a rather nasty abscess, we’re pleased to say that he seems to be on the mend now which is just as well with a party to attend tomorrow!
Hope to see you there to celebrate Eggsy’s birthday
Love from
Eggsy Pony & Friends xx
Love the new letter. My birthday is May 28th too!!
