Well that's a good question because it just says 'cob type' on his passport! Unknown for sire/dam. So I thought he might have welsh but hmmmm, I really don't know. I always wanted a Welshie so just went with it but people have said he might have a bit of fell, dales the vet even thought icelandic?! I got him from the outskirts of London from a dealer as a 5 ish year old. He was in a riding school for five months, obviously hated that although he tolerates stressage but I do more hacking/jumping though jumping for fun these days)
 
He is gorgeous! I would also say part Welsh. Many years ago a mare that I owned had colic surgery. It was very touch and go for quite a few days, but she picked up once I was allowed to hand graze her. Fingers crossed it will be the same for Jet. My mare went on till she was 35. xx

Everything crossed here too. I've been keeping any eye on his progress but didn't comment as I didn't have anything useful to add. But now I do - sort of! He looks so much like my old boy who was a very well bred (they just forgot to tell him that) Sec D. There's no doubt in my mind that he's 100% Welsh.
 
Hello everyone sorry for the late update (having a broken phone is really crap at a time like this - they will only look at it on Friday!) So I am dependent on my OH phone and my laptop. I spoke to the vet this morning and went up this afternoon. He managed one small poo this mornig but he is only on readigrass and 5 minutes of grazing by hand. I specified that everything has to be soaked - the readigrass was a scoop but it is dry and so they said they will soak it. I took him out for a 5 minute graze and he seemed happy enough. Apparently there is a bit of swelling near the incision (!) so bit worried about that. His heart rate etc is normal this afternoon and his white blood count. Tomorrow is the test - can he eat hay....gulp
