In short, no her heart would have been checked quickly when she had her jabs, but nothing out of the ordinary was mentioned, im just glad she was not alone, my old boy stood with her and that it was quick. Vet believes no pain and she would have been dead when she hit the ground... gutting xx

My 3.5 year old cob was found on Saturday morning having passed away over night. There were no marks on her and nothing on the ground to suggest she had thrashed about. PM has come back inconclusive, with the most likely cause being her heart and a massive heart attack. Im so devastated, she was...

Yes, always a hat and gloves, the front legs issue is becoming far and far less often, it was almost a daily issue, usually after I have brought her to the stable to have some training (picking feet out, grooming etc) I think it was a dominance thing to begin with. This hasn't happened for a few...

Its a very brave thing for you to do, and it sounds like you have given her a lifetime of opportunity. No one should criticise such a difficult decision and without being in that situation probably have no idea how hard it is for you. As others have said you have given her 13 wonderful years...

Thanks all, do my best to keep as close as possible, but appreciate all the advice and will change the length of rope, looking forward to our future :) thanks all

Usually lead on a 12ft line, however I had picked the wrong one up and hadnt realised. She had been fairly unhandled until I got her, and she has swift front legs, if she gets angry/confused she stands up, boxing with her fronts then lunges with her teeth. 12 ft line is purely to give space when...

Thank you :) New owner worries... Note to self... never google!

Hi I have a 20 month old cob filly, who I have had for a couple of months. She is lead with a halter and 22 foot line, as we are still learning our manners. Today she got sprightly and ended up running around on the end of the rope for 5/10 minutes before she calmed herself again. Yes I am...

Keeping my fingers firmly crossed for a positive outcome for you, hugs to you and ponio xxx

Hexx, please feel free to message me, I have pics of my boy from beginning to end... His weight loss was literally over 4 weeks... from being a cresty chunky cob to super thin. Get blood tests ASAP, if he has been on the red cell he should show signs of improvement... mine didnt. I am keeping...

Has he dropped weight at all? My boy turned into a hat rack over a very short period of time. The pitted oedema then showed up and his sheath swelled. Although the vet did an almighty number of tests, as his heart rate was high and his liver failing it turned out to be leukaemia. I will keep my...

Thanks for all the replies! You have beautiful ponies! I am feeling very excited! :) Is anyone any good at judging conformation from a photo? x

Hello all, I am looking to purchase a highland pony very soon and was just looking for their pro's and cons please, pics would be lovely too! Other than lami is there any other known illnesses they are prone to as a breed? Many thanks

Hello, I am awaiting my poor pony's liver biopsy and am wondering on others experiences with outcomes, symptoms etc... I have been Googling and scaring myself silly. I'm hoping someone can give me a light at the end of the tunnel. I'm worried sick. Many thanks Xx
