The story of Ginger...

Ginger the pony spent the first few years of her life giving short rides to children at a small hotel near Rekawa beach. With her sweet temperment and social nature she was likely quite a popular attraction.  In 2004 the massive Tsunami struck Sri Lanka and specifically hit the south coast very hard.  Over 40,000 people in Sri Lanka alone were killed.

The hotel where Ginger lived was swept away taking Ginger with it.  The last witnessed sighting of Ginger was a glimpse of her nose peaking out of the water as she was swept into the dinning room of the hotel where the water came up to the ceiling.  She was then swept out to sea and no one ever expected to see her again.  About a week later Miss Ginger showed up on the property of Buckingham Place.  A little hungry but otherwise in perfect health and in no apparent distress.  How Ginger managed to survive and what she witnessed that week after the Tsunami is an adventure only Ginger knows.

She has since become the mascot and official greeter at Buckingham Place Hotel.  She now spends her days socializing with distinguished guests from all over world and plotting her next scheme to procure extra treats from them.
