Wow thank you that is so kind and just what I need :). I feel really alone in this and that is making it harder. I cannot bear it. I know it is not the same but I did the same with a dog a few months ago and I tried and tried even though my gut said he wouldn't make it. It turned out he was one...

I am thinking PTS now. I don't know how to do it. I have never done it.How horrific is it? WHat will my veteran pony do? I cannot have him shot as they shot a pony on the yard near my veteran pony once (without telling me- heaven knows why!!) this was about 10 years ago but now my veteran is a...

Well I used to have a 12hh welsh mountain pony that came from the animal health trust and when I contacted them about his history they said he had been a blood bank pony for 10 years.

This is how it made me feel but I am quite passive and trust me-she'd have flattened me! The odd thing was she hated him but had a mare for sale she really liked. She told me she hated him, said he was useless and hates geldings as like all men everything is "too much trouble". That is why I...

Hi I am insured but vets fees only up to 3k so not sure how far that will go :confused:

18 months ago I bought a youngster from a dealer. I took pity- foolishly some will say but she was horrific and punched him twice in the face while I was there. He wasn't even a cheap buy (ie not a few hundred quid) but a lovely person. I rode him there and she said he was 'just backed' recently...
