The Mare and Foal Sanctuary is celebrating the naming of their young Icelandic colt, who is thriving under their care at the Newton Abbot rescue centre.
The charity is delighted to announce the winning name for the little colt, who has captured hearts across the UK and beyond. Flint arrived at the Sanctuary with his dam, Mavis, just after his birth in May.
Initially unhandled and shy, Flint has flourished under the charity's patient care. He is now relaxed, loves being groomed, and has begun headcollar training. As he grows, his colouring is changing, and he has become darker in recent weeks.
The naming competition was launched to involve sanctuary supporters in his story and raise awareness of their work caring for rescued equines, people, nature, and wildlife.
The winning name was suggested by Zoe from South Devon, who will be invited to meet Flint.
