I went to see the boys today and thought you would all like an update on their progress!!

The good news is they are both doing really well and look like different ponies!! It is fabulous news as it is only just over 2 months since they were rescued - obviously there is still a way to go. They are both incredibly perky in themselves and the two of them shoved me round their paddock and stuffed - no make that inhaled!!

- a packet of polos in record time!!

They are both on a fibre fibre and more fibre diet and have turn out when the weather is good so they get grass.

Carrot - obviously he was the poorest of the pair but has put on weight and is still gaining - his ribs now have a covering so is moving in the right direction!
smile.gif
Has seen the dentist and has little in the way of teeth but it isn't stopping him from eating!!
blush.gif
Is the boss of the pair and demands his food at regular intervals! Slow progress but the weight is going on. Is snuggled up in his jamas to keep him warm - and he ate most of the polos!!
grin.gif


Spud - looks fantastic and like a different pony!
cool.gif
smile.gif
Is almost up to weight and you definately can't feel his ribs anymore!!
smile.gif
The dentist had to remove some of his teeth but it isn't stopping him from eating either!! Again he is wrapped up in jamas to keep him warm. Was so busy eating polos he nearly ate the wrapper!!

Gave both of them a big fuss and hugs as well a bag of Mollichaff Veteran as a treat. Both are making fantastic progress and are getting all the TLC they need.

They would have said thank you for all your kind thoughts but were far to busy going through my pockets......

Excellent news, so glad they are doing well

We do need photographic proof, though - or is their location still a secret?
 
Thanks so much for the update, i'm so glad they're doing well, and if they're inhaling polos they must definitely be feeling better!

Again, well done to everyone on HHO & the BHS for all the work they did!
 
Slinky-are you taking photos??
Maybe if you were allowed to you could take them at various times and make them public as and when the time is right.
Obviously their safety is the main concern and if any prosecution can be gained then its a bonus. It would be nice to see the gradual changes in them one day.
Glad they are happy!
 

Awww, thanks for the update, thats great news

. Weird I was only thinking of them this morning and was going to post later to see if there was any news. Onwards and upwards Carrot and Spud x
 
Great news, would love to see pics when you are allowed to take them

I assume this was a stretch of the truth...

the BHS surely aren't allowing the Spud to become a couch spud! If you can't feel ribs the horse is over weight, though given what he's been through he probably deserve to be a touch too chubby for a while

Was so pleased to get your text slinks re your visit, glad that they are going in the right direction now...... a happy ending.... well hopefully once all the legal stuff is sorted out eh?
