I am Prince

He does look a lot better. Can't believe the RSPCA. Does he have access to that stable and hay all the time? Why on earth would it need to be in the middle of the field, does she think he is blind or stupid or something. (Oh wait, that's her!!)

Yup, he has 100% access to it. The outside is alittle shabby and tat-filled as his old owner is moving all his stuff out but i've padlocked all the doors open so no one could have shut it on the day she came (:

I can see where your vet is coming from re making a decision with winter coming up, but hopefully we'll have an Indian summer and he will continue to flourish, he's doing so well already :). I also think with all his new rugs, food and everything else, even if he goes into winter a bit skinny, it's worth persevering, after all he's coped in far worse conditions the last two winters, I'm sure even if he can't put on weight in the winter he will be able to maintain what's already been achieved and will be far happier all snuggly and well fed :)

I think he'll be okay, he's currently unrugged and hopefully, after double checking with the vet, he'll be in my feild with my mare with large ad lib haylage bales throughout the winter. He's definitely changed, he's got actual energy to move around the field and im sure i can see some rounding up of his body. Im pretty optimistic!

Yay! They arrived :D They as shiny as his teeth lol

Yup! The postman delivered them this morning. I put them on Prince and he did freak out alittle, we had 10 mins of extended trot with pointy toes that would do valegro proud.

I'm in actual love with the headcollar, he's barely allowed to touch it because its so pretty. I believe every horse needs a leather headcollar with nameplate. Kyra had one but i left it hanging up on the yard and came back to a soggy, mushy pile of leather. Horrid creature
 
That old horse is going to be just fine; there is no reason why he can't continue to pick up over winter with proper care, feed and rugs. Well done, I have been in the same position with rescues and there is no better act than trying to help something that doesn't deserve to be in the state it's in.
 
He is such a handsome boy, and won't know himself with rugs and haylage when the weather turns.

I'd love to see a video of him if you can catch him prancing around again soon. You can see from the stills he has lovely floaty movement :)
 
Hey well he just looks grand. 18 and looking so good from when you acquired him. love the video of him trotting for his tea. thats a horse getting the zest of life back. Beautiful x x
