Summary
Mile, a 1-month-old pony, is temporarily living in his owners’ fourth-floor apartment in Rovinj because his mother rejected him at birth and he needs feeding every two hours.
A life-threatening infection led to surgery in neighboring Slovenia, with donors helping cover treatment costs after a vet initially thought the foal might not survive.
The 16-kilogram pony spends days at the family’s ranch near Bale with other animals, then rides back to the apartment each evening to sleep on a mattress or sofa.
Neighbors in the residential building have not complained, and the owners say the arrangement should last only about 20 more days if Mile grows strong enough to remain at the ranch.
