The family adopted Billy, taking him home to Ayrshire with them after the show.
The RSPCA team met thousands of visitors and competitors during the four-day event held at the East of England showground, talking about their on-going work rescuing, rehabilitating and rehoming some of the country’s most neglected and suffering ponies.
RSPCA chief inspector Cathy Hyde, who heads up the RSPCA’s equine team said: “Stabled at the event were 16 of those ponies who have blossomed in our care, and were ready to find their new homes – so we are delighted that twelve were reserved.
