Boggle- USA bound!

[meleeka]

Bog was great today! Really sharp and good on his feet and in front. Just played with a few poles and some backing up. No sign of a thing. He seemed to like his massage pad for a bit then got bored and the leg waving started

Pepper thinks this is the best game EVER. Bog does not agree!

Poor Bog, that is hilarious

 

[mustardsmum]

Our mare had PRP for a check lig tear, and she’s never been lame since. Scan showed the tear had healed with no scar tissue and was so good the vet could barely see where it had been.

You are all going to think I'm utterly mental but, I am going to see a little TB from a rescue tomorrow. He arrived last spring very underweight, having been properly neglected by his owner. It's not what you will immediately think, though This all came about yesterday. My friend, whose a vet (albiet not my vet), put me in touch with them because he's been sitting doing not much and they want someone to get him going so that he's more adoptable. She thinks a lot of him, and she's an equine vet.. so. They are willing to pay his expenses to do so, so no risk/cost to me as obviously I just can't or won't take on anything at the moment let alone a high risk project. It would give me something to play with for a bit, see whether I have it in me to do another project and have a bit of focus. And maybe help this little horse out at the same time to find a good home, with having done a bit "more" to get him there.

Anyway, I'm going to go have a look at him and see and remain open minded...apparently he's small and playful and his name, god help me, is Dusty. Which is also the pigs name. He would also be stabled far away from Boggle so that he doesn't know!!!

 

[Tarragon]

I think that it is a good idea, if I am honest. Sharing your attention between both horses may help to diffuse your focus on Bog a little, which I don't think will be a bad thing.
I said you will get a name for yourself as someone who can rehab horses!

 

[ycbm]

That actually makes lots of sense. I'm going to start taking bets on whether he ever leaves though

 

[Slightlyconfused]

Did it work? Mine had it for a hind suspensory but it have any effect

Yes, we think it did. He tore a hole in the middle ligament of the three that go over the stifle. The prognosis was guarded but he made a full recovery, a weeks box rest then chucked out for a few months as he keep locking up so movement was key.

 

[myheartinahoofbeat]

I think the TB is a great idea. What a lucky situation to be in. Can't wait to see a picture of him. I'm a sucker for a TB

 

[Trouper]

Go for it - great idea. What better satisfaction than getting a youngster started in the right way.

 

[southerncomfort]

Wonderful idea!

 

[Michen]

Would be a rather large project guys, this was him when he was rescued. Apparently he has a very big belly now!

 

[Jellymoon]

Aw, poor little chap, this would be a lovely thing to do, well done you.

 

[teapot]

Ok, he won't be leaving!

I'll bet his pasterns haven't got any shorter! Be careful if you fall in love M.

I am taking the view that given my vet friend was tempted by him herself, he can’t have anything too drastic.

But no, I don’t intend to. I managed not to with Bear, I was very happy to sell him, so I expect I will be fine

I will quote this in 6 months time !

I stand firm haha! No one thought I’d sell Bear and look what happened The trouble is, whilst Boggle is around, nothing else compares. Bear was wonderful but just didn’t do it for me.

 

[nagblagger]

You protest too much..

Sounds like a good idea definitely go for it can't wait to see some pictures of him

About prp Arabi had a whacking great hole in his hind suspensory when he was 12 he had prp and 6 months box rest, he was sound hole all gone and he was good for years.

He only had some slight damage 2 years ago but he was 18 then and after some shock wave he has been sound for hacking, I don't school him anymore he doesn't enjoy it and the surface I ride on is not great but he enjoys going out and enjoys our little hacks.

Hopefully you have more willpower and sense than me. Fin was meant to be a sales project but I fell apart into a greetin mess at the thought of his worried, sad little face getting on a lorry and driving away forever.

I mean Bear did stay several years and was meant to go very quickly And Boggle too.. but that was different obviously!

 

[Michen]

Alright Dusty, I guess you’re coming back with me. Wish me luck everyone, I’ll need it

 

[ycbm]

Lots of fun with no risk, what's not to like? Pretty little fellow. Congratulations!

I’m just thinking he can’t be worse than Bog as a youngster.. right?

 

[Emilieu]

Hands up who is shocked…


Anyone?


Hellllllloooooooo???

*tumbleweed*

 

[oldandgold]

Dusty may not know it yet, but I think he has well and truly fell on his feet finding you. Best wishes to you all

 

[BallyRoanBaubles]

Good luck Michen hope you have loads of fun

 

[Emilieu]

Love his wee face. Hope he brings you tons of fun

 

[Fraggle2]

Awww he's lovely

Will he have his own thread so we can follow the progress you'll both make?


Please

 

[Dave's Mam]

Oh Dusty, I don't think you'll know how lucky you are.
