Dodger is on box rest till friday when his stitches come out so i thought he could have a nice bath in the sunshine , also took some photos to keep track of his weight/condition etc so here they are for your veiwing pleasure :D





and just to give you an idea of what he did look like this was before he came to me, visiting at the stud. Constant snotty nose,runny eyes,scabby legs etc etc I think the difference in his face is just brilliant

 
What'd happened to his before you had him?

He looks a different horse! (Aunts old pony had a tracheostomy, was with us until 27 when cancer got the better of him :()
 
I bought him with many issues but didn't know the cause. After alot of antibiotics which had no effect I had him scoped and xrayed. He has nerve damage and a collapsed larynx probably from birth, he sounded Darth Vader before the op and he is now a different horse. He was also very poor due to the stress of breathing. He's slowly putting on weight but still quite boney but he will soon be out on some nice grass.

He has fantastic movement and a lovely temperament so I was willing to take a chance on him, im glad I did!
 
Snorkey he is pure bred Trakehner by Oliver Twist. It think he gets his moves from his daddy, this video was when he first arrived with me ( please ignore my gibbering!)

Ha Ha, best of luck it took me three days lots of sedation and a blindfold just to get him on a lorry to go to hospital! Unless you can walk him all the way home??:p
