Yes please to a write up and any pics you care to take 😃

Is it possible they have changed her feed? One of mine turned into a giddy mess on Baileys LoCal

Feed bin (plastic dustbin)

Sad to report the filly has died, neo natal sepsis 😢 I'm upset but really feel for her loaners

Oh that's a shame, we had one that scanned in foal before she came back from the stallion, time went on, everyone was convinced they could see movement (except me) but no foal arrived, she must have slipped it early on 😐

Dales Pony 😍 Caphouse Alice x Flynn de Kingmaker

My mare (who is on breeding loan) had a filly last night 🥰

What about a hoof boot, scoots are pretty open, with a wool insole which would help with moisture.. Like this or other manufacturer https://chimneysheep.co.uk/products/snug-hoof?srsltid=AfmBOoqLnp97xFy5zVUuIIYSTdhbi1HsRLdURbjl3Is2yO6I6xkiaeEo&variant=46658513371442

Oh poop, I got some last week from Bentley Grange in Emley, was hoping to get more this week, this was the blue bag stuff though, not Timothy

Yes, Jasmin will cough on hay, but totally happy with haylage (even if its on the dryer side)

I'm planning (once I'm down to 2 ponies) to just use small bale Timothy haylage. I might reconsider that in winter time Have you asked on Huddersfield Horses or similar fb pages

1980s we had jodhpur boots, caldene jodhpurs, we didn't compete so didn't have any show gear. My sister had a padded waistcoat which I got when she outgrew it, I loved it but hardly ever wore it. General outdoor coat, nothing horse specific

Or if the dog goes into the coop while the eggs are being collected and helps themselves, the dog got an egg 😍

Agree but its a very small gene pool in that breed and there isn't much can be done about it, the society has adopted the Sparks program that started with the Cleveland Bays in an attempt to avoid inbreeding

I think you'd have to go to each specific breed society, I know in Dales ponies the number of foals born each year is currently fairly good, approx 125 last year I think. I doubt there is anyone collating the data in one place for all the native breeds, maybe the NPS (National Pony Society)
