I didn't feed this to my cushings pony, however my current pony gobbles this up by itself so it must be tasty as he can be fussy.

Mine ate those when he was not eating his normal feed

I used to do it in my younger days, getting unhandled 3 or 4 yo Fell ponies to train and eventually sell on. I really enjoyed doing it. I did know my limits though, I wouldn't have taken on a young blood horse. To be honest I found them far less trouble than something that had been messed with...

I still feel a bit guilty that years ago my pony killed a rabbit on a roadside verge in the middle of the day. Stood on it at a canter rather than rearing at the sight.

I hope you either get answers from the mri or Rockley will take him.

Lovely pony. My first thought was Locket.

Just worked out I've had my Heinegers for 35 years and still going strong.

When, in my youth, I was around people that bred Shires, the 2yos would be harnessed up and spend time walking next to the experienced ones which were hitched to a plough or vehicle.

I have never had a hoof bleed when being trimmed and would certainly not tolerate anyone who did it.

Keep well away from these people. They have some crazy ideas. Sometimes the heel does need to be taken back if it is getting crushed but I wouldn't let these people anywhere near a pony of mine.

And sometimes the doing things is feeding him carrots while looking out at the rain 😜

Same for the Highland foal

I've always made sure my foal was well away and out of earshot of the mare for a couple of months when weaned. It takes them both some time to be used to being apart. Make sure the foal has company of other youngsters. I wouldn't take her to the clinic. Go without her ,you will still learn stuff.

Has her udder dried up properly from weaning him? Make sure she has no mastitis which would be upsetting her.

Can you get a couple of bottle fed lambs?
