Thank you for posting verification. I couldn’t find it but knew it was a good source.

Or so I heard over the weekend. Sad.

And spare a thought for all the ‘present’ kittens and puppies thrust into chaos. I know of one little kitten for sure being given as a present today to then be carted across the countryside tomorrow so it’s not left home alone. Dogs in house it is visiting! People!!

Bless him. I do feel your pain my highland was the same. He lives out 24/7 now and when the hay is gone it’s gone. He’s so much happier but is overweight. Has access to several acres. He’s retired so I accept it. Not ideal though.

Wonder if he’s deficient in anything? I could well be talking complete rubbish but his behaviour is real searching isn’t it? I’d trial some woody herbs in his feed and buy a good forage balancer. He may well become EMS and there’s lots of info on keeping them fed. It’s a battle. Good luck.

He’s a lovely man his book is a nice read. He is touring too.

I keep eyeing up the fur lined moretta from shires. Anyone got them? My amazing toggi calgarys are so old now!

It’s truly horrific but very much a thing. Worst part of Christmas at the vets. Best part was fabulous clients bringing in biccies and chocolate to share.

Good luck. No family members with bigger vehicles or trailers? Only two in my Toyota auris. Was t prepared to use front seat. Did use builders hippo bags for ‘crumbs’

Wouldnt want to deal with sweet itch or melanomas if a grey at that age. Sarcoids depending where they are can be troublesome too. Otherwise wye issues any heart stuff and lameness. So quite a lot I guess! Very best of luck.

Not sure on price but schokemohle bridles are nice.

I part loan two ponies. Both were word of mouth and not from cold calls but I have done an advert myself in the past and it did generate some nice horses. The most important thing is you’re on a similar wave length to the owners. I really like both of my shares owners. They’re lovely caring...

Yes his owner did all the Nero tests recently and said he was fine on all except backing up. But to me that’s still a fail. She needs to have downs time to decide on next step. He’s cheerful. Wants to be groomed caught etc. eating ok although has lost a little weight. Not much but he is 23 next...

I am sorry to say this is continuing. Not transient not my pony I share him. He’s still bright and perky but tripping behind a bit too now. On lunge not ridden at the moment. Neuro seems most likely. Bute made no difference.
