If he's only like it with food, then why not just get a food manger that hangs over the stable door, that way no'one has to go in, the situation is avoided and need never arise... might sound a woosie way out, but it would avoid lots of torment for both parties. If he's like it every time you...

How about word of mouth? There are loads of genuine people out there who are looking for a nice, older, ploddy horse, or even willing to take on a project, but don't have the initial outlay money to spend on buying one. That doesn't mean to say they don't have the money to look after one.. Word...

Here is the little fella, now called BOB, just thought the people who saw the original post might like to see how he's doing. He currently has a bit of sunburn, but is well on the road to recovery! I had to trim excess coat off with scissors, hence the dappled effect. His belly is still...

Will try and get some updated pictures soon, he developed a hugely snotty nose the day after this, which is just clearing up, so he didn't look pretty for a while bless him! It's hard to see just how skinny he was under that coat (about two inches of it!) aswell.

I posted a few weeks ago about a foal that had been dumped on the mountain near where I live. I took the little fella in, although I didn't have the space to take him. After a week or spo of phonecalls to numerous welfare centres, we were informed every time aboput how full they all are and that...

thanks laniep, I've P.M'd you. going off to check on them all now, will keep everyone informed and hopfully get some pictures tommorrow. cheers all!

cheers! everyone, I don't get time to come on here much, but I was just so frustrated at the situation! There's always an eejit like me to pick up the pieces of other people's poo!

She's a bay, no way she was lost, no travellers staying anywhere near, and miles from anywhere. I too hope the rescue can help! They're probably pretty full!

This evening I got a call from a neighbour, saying a foal was up the mountain, wandering around by the road. I went to meet him at the spot,he had been feeding it for a couple of days. She is only about six/seven months, hugely underweight, quite weak, has a cough and a very damaged eye (I...

My Aunt had a pony who was blind in one eye, as far as I know he was hunted, hacked out etc

I found my first horse of a lifetime when I was 16 and he was a two year old in a field full of other two year olds. I was there to look at a filly, but he came walking straight over and began nuzzling my coat like I was there purely to give him attention, I was smitten and we had a brilliant...

I did think of doing this lungeing him, literally beginning again. He does respond quite well to the voice and thankfully that's partly how I managed to stop him when he bolted, after about a mile at a flat out gallop!..it is hard to stay calm..lol!

Here's the thing! I am about to aquire a 14.2 cob. He is a fantastic driving cob and this is his primary job and he does it very well. He is however broken to ride also and has been hunted...by a load of lunatic young fellas that do everything hard and fast. As a result, if he makes his mind to...

I too am a bit annoyed by the page on which that video appears. Since when did anyone get their outgrown pony slaughtered, Unless you are completely removed from the horse world and how it works, or any common sense! People will give their eye teeth to get hold of a good children's pony..anyway...

Did wonder about trying a waterford, he has a big meaty mush and tends to lean on the bit. There are just so many bit's to choose from and without spending millions it's difficult to choose one! Think there might be a market for bit rental!....hmmmm
