Very strongly worded email written by grandad sent last night. And we won’t be paying a penny (excuse the pun - that’s her name!!) for the service as I also agree it was complete negligence. X

Thank you and I’m so so sorry for your loss- it is just heart wrenching. It makes me never want to buy another. Going down to the yard to see me other two has been so hard and I’m lucky that the girls have taken charge and so I went up last night and tonight to give a quick cuddle and it all...

The thought about wild horses really helped thank you for that. I have amazing friends (horsey included) who have been fantastic. My grandparents and dad aren’t in the country at the moment and mum is disabled so can’t get to me but my uni friends have been great. But when no one is with me...

Forgot to say - it was about 30 mins for her to go. And like I said in one of my reply’s - standing and pricking her ears to other horses calling. Surely she was in agony or do you guys still think not? It’s so unbelievably traumatising to think she was in so much agony and fear x

It took her ages to go down. The rearing over backwards, standing back up, ears forward when other horses called. I find it all so horrific. Maybe it’s the case more often than we realise because many of us understandably can’t be there to witness it. But it just seems such a cruel ending and I...

Thank you so much for your kind messages and hugs everyone. All ponies are so precious but especially our childhood ones. I have had her since I was 4 (I’m 20 now) and she has been with me through all my exams, boy problems, parents divorce… EVERYTHING. Saying goodbye is hard enough- it didn’t...

She even remained standing for a while whilst he went to get another syringe and pricked her ears when one of the other horses called

My very elderly 11hh pony was pts yesturday with the injection as she’d gone very wobbly in the back end- neurological we think and the situation has traumatised me. She was given sedation first (I didn’t think she was that sleepy) Then a clear syringe which took her ages to go down after...

Also vet didn’t think eye was to do with the scrap he said “im just looking at an older ponies eye”

I would say a low cal balancer to make sure he’s getting the right protein bits and mins

Yes I think they are more likely to eat seedlings. I am picking up loads of helicopters at the mo though. We’ve had so much wind!! Ours have been tested and proven low toxicity but I still pick a poopscoopers worth up daily xx

My little pony who I’m not really sure of her age (at least mid twenties plus) has just recently started showing her age. She’s suddenly become quite stiff in a few places. Vet thinks front right elbow and something going on behind in the stifle (s). She had a scrap in the feild with my other...

Ok thank you. I think I’m going to do that. But wait for the vets verdict tomo about missy’s legs as if she needs box rest we could have problems !!

What are we thinking in regards to the injuries^ coz I won’t be able to box rest at the usual yard

Bearing in mind the pony needs pracend
