Maisie was a Welsh Sec. D competition pony. She was very bonded with Holly until her death at 28.

She was sweet natured and protective. Once when I was feeling very stressed she sauntered up to me, while I sat on the ground. She gently dropped her muzzle onto my head and breathed into my hair, which was very soothing and relaxing. Another time an angry visitor called in to see us. The herd were grazing nearby and gradually moved closer to us. Maisie barged into the woman and unbalanced her. She laughed and became aware of her behaviour.
