Meet the family: Pony the Sheep

To get to know me a little better it's probably easiest to get to know my animals too. So I'll be doing a little series of photographs of my little collection of pets. And here we're starting with the newest addition to the family: Pony the sheep!

Pony is owned by myself and my friend Meghan - we bought her in April as a companion for Meghan's horse on her parents' farm outside a small city in the middle of South Africa. We ended up paying for her per kilogram - we sleep easy at night knowing we saved her from being somebodies dinner and have instead given her an amazing free life. Unfortunately she's quite a way away from where I live, but I like to fly up to visit her (and Meghan's family) whenever I can afford to.

Since owning my very own sheep I've learnt a lot about them and it's amazing how she has her own distinct personality - quite sassy - and how she likes some people over others. I must admit I haven't been able to stomach a lamb chop since we got her (I might slowly be turning vegetarian) which is probably a good thing!
