Accidentally pity purchase

[dorsetladette]

Gosh, he has landed on his little hooves with you. So glad you have him and giving him some TLC, sounds like he needed it!

In all honesty I've seen worse. But its sad to see a little one not given the start you would for your own. Teeth and jabs tomorrow. Hopefully teeth all good, but just want to cover all bases.

3 weeks with us. I think he's looking better already. He's a sweet little character, a little jumpy but is just a genuinely nice person. I wasnt excited about him arriving and have not really spent to much time with him apart from the necessary things, but he's definitely growing on me.

 

[WelshHoarder]

Oh he’s a very sweet little soul - he’s definitely fallen on his hooves with you. I do love a Welshie baby, but then I am very biased!

Reggie update.

As its clearly HHOs fault we own the ginger ninja I thought an update is only appropriate.

He's currently Huge! And eating us out of house and home. He wants to be in your company the minute he sees you. He's a bit of handful to lead but stands to be groomed nicely. Back feet are a little sticky but he tolerates his feet being picked out. He chases the sheep ?‍ luckily they can get away from hom pretty easily.

A few photos attached because - well whats an update without a photo ?‍ not the best as he constantly follows you round the field.

What a very handsome young man! He is looking absolutely fabulous ?

 

[AmyMay]

He’s looking fabulous ?

 

[WispyBegs]

He’s such a handsome lad ? Looks like you’re doing a great job with him!

 

[catembi]

Wow, he's looking well!

 

[WelshHoarder]

He’s really growing into himself, isn’t he? Gorgeous lad ?

 

[ponynutz]

Can you send him in the post? So cute!
Glad he's settling in.

 

[Rosemary28]

Might be 2 first class stamps now. Or a large letter stamp

Now the worms are gone he's filling out lovely. He'll be a different pony by September I think.

 

[Reacher]

Smart boy!

 

[Errin Paddywack]

I look forward to seeing him growing up. Nice boy.

 

[Xmasha]

what a smart chap. Love seeing them blossom like this.

 

[Janglos199]

He looks adorable. Treat him right!

 

[Polos Mum]

ETA - we are going to leave gelding until he has put some weight on and is a little stronger in himself.

If he's not horrible with hormones and not in with ladies leaving him until the autumn when the flies are gone would be a good idea anyway and when they've fully 'dropped' which might be late if he's behind in growth in other areas

I've had 2 done one at c.18 months and they have been no trouble

I hope I've read that wrong - I have no intention of treating him any other way but 'right'

He's not colty at all. We only have boys at our place so we're pretty safe here. We will geld him in the autumn as you say less flies about. They have definitely fully dropped now. They dangle like pat butchers earrings!!

 

[TheSubwayDino]

Hes so adorable!!

 

[TPO]

He's really flourished with you. What a cracking job you're doing ?

Thank you!

 

[dorsetladette]

Another Reggie update.

He's growing!
Still wants to be with you all the time follows you while poo picking. Starting to be a bit impatient when tied up and groomed but nothing you wouldn't expect from a baby. No real sign of coltish behaviour. Just a really friendly affectionate pony. He's currently standing at about 13.2hh. He's a little short in the neck but who cares - we cant all be cat walk models

 

[smolmaus]

He looks like a catwalk model to me!! Look at that wee face! ?

 

[Annagain]

He's lovely! One of the best pity purchases I've seen in a long time.

 

[AmyMay]

Looking fab ?

 

[Rosemary28]

What a lovely lad!

 

[JGC]

He's gorgeous, what a difference!

 

[PinkvSantaboots]

His lovely and looks in proportion to me he will still change so much its so hard to imagine how they will look as adults.

 

[pistolpete]

Wow! He’s lovely. I think he’s going to be very smart!
