Nancykitt's latest activity

I'm so sorry this happened and I can understand how much it's shaken you up. When feeding horses in the field I have always placed the...

Realistically, I don't think Ozzy has a future in another home. I wouldn't feel comfortable passing him on and tbh I don't think anyone...

Not as bad as Ozzys. We had a smaller pony that was a rescue and we knew he had been starved. He came from a herd of neglected horses...

I understand why you used it, especially as it’s worked with your other horses. I think the issue is doing it sometimes and not others...

No, we always feed them from the other side of the fence. He had to lurch forward some distance to get me. It wasn't just that it was...
