Tbh, I decided in May that my old pony would not be doing another winter, but it was an awful summer (for me) and I couldn't think of anything else.
Now as soon as I start thinking that way about a pony I make the decision and do the deed straight away.
Is he anywhere near sound enough to turn out, movement will help loads , I did once, sprayed the foot with Stockholm tar and turned her out. And didn't look too closely for a couple of weeks
With the cushings diagnosis being a potential reason for the accesses, it will give time for the meds to...
I must admit I am feeling a bit down about the mud/mess/water but it is February. I think i always feel a bit like this at this time of year , though I am looking forward to only having 2 ponies by the summer which will feel a lot easier
Generally, anything towards the east coast will be cheaper, but also some flood risk. I think you might struggle with that budget for a 4bed plus paddock unless you want a doer upper
I used SS Haycare for feed, so always have a handful in my pocket in case anyone needs a treat. They are bigger than a pony/grass nut but not as big as some of the packaged treats
Did used to use the Bailey's fibre nuggets
My OH got me an Insta 360, it is amazing quality footage, but too heavy to wear on my head, I have worn it on my chest sometimes. He uses is on his lambretta so not totally useless
Edited to add, the units are getting smaller all the time so might be better for hat wearing now
