Feeling a bit emotional after finding a photo...

Of my little companion pony who I took on in April. Hes approx 30 years old, I almost forgot what he looked like when he first arrived

Here he is now, the dear old boy

 

[CobsGalore]

Ahh he looks so much healthier and happier! How lovely of you to take him on lucky boy!

 

[fidleyspromise]

What a difference in him. well done

 

[partypremier]

How did you manage to turn him around he looks great for his age or even if he was ten years younger

 

[HBM1]

what a wonderful change, well done he looks so happy now too

Had his teeth sorted out (he could barely eat)
Wormed him
De loused him
Decent grass
and 2 big sloppy feeds of fast fibre and chaff a day, with benevit.

Within 5 months he has completely changed, and he whinnyed to me for the first time in those 5 months last friday when I came through the gate.

I love him as if he had always been mine

What a sweety

 

[mightymammoth]

you've done a great job, so heartbreaking that he was allowed to get in that state the poor old boy, makes me think of so many others who are not as lucky as him.

Would love to see more photos of him

He will indeed, he will have the best last however many years he has ever had. He will want for nothing
My mare is quite put out you know, this newby coming in getting all the good feed/rugs

 

[attheponies]

He looks fantastic and is a real credit to you. I love a happy ending!

 

[katie_southwest]

Thank you he's such a lovely little boy, I'm just sad that we didn't have more years together but he is safe now and will be looked after how an oldie should be

 

[mightymammoth]

Your wish is my command

What a lovely storey - must admit that it has brought a tear to my eye. He looks fab now and I am sure he knows he has 'landed on all four hooves' with you.

 

[Bearsmum]

Ooo, I could just give him great big scrungy cuddle. Well done you he looks a very happy old boy.

 

[katie_southwest]

Jaijai I hope he does
Caught me off guard I just found the photo as I was going through my computer, didn't realise I even had it. Dear old boy, at least its happy tears / emotion!!!

 

[katie_southwest]

Bearsmum - I literally put my arms around his whole neck and cuddle him like a human I think he secretly likes it

 

[Gingerwitch]

Well done you

I just hope you are proud of yourself - you should be

 

[katie_southwest]

I am proud of myself thank you gingerwitch

Just what I was thinking!

 

[SadKen]

Ahh he's adorable. This is such a happy story, it has really put a smile on my face! OP you are definitely going to heaven or some other equally pleasant non-denominational nirvana.
