You are magic! Passport is a generic PETID Horse Passport. Nothing like any of the breed specific ones i've ever had. I'l Upload a picture of the only page in the book.

I took some but with his shortened mane it makes him look even worse, then again i've always had natural ponies. I took a video of him trotting up but its entirely out of focus! I'll upload them anyway but i wish i'd left his mane alone!


ETA I'm going out to trot up in focus, i really cant see anything from that vid.

Have you tried contacting the arab horse society? Its odd if he is anglo that he wasn't properly registered, they may have records of him including his sire. I have found them quite helpful before.

A quick google of creator and his sire mill reef bring up some famous horses!

apparently he was the last foal born to mill reef....but it looks like the first foal of the dam chalon!
chalon also had 7 wins!
 
Cant believe I missed all this.
Just read through the whole thread about him! bless him!!
Well done you for not giving up and well done to everyone on here that offered equipment/feed :D

Cant wait to see what he looks like in a few months :D
 
Would love to see updates a couple of times a week on this thread...I doubt anyone will mind you 'hogging' the front page (not that you will) and I'm bad with blogs, always lose URLs etc.
 
Well done Jessi&Magic - such a moving story. The 'token piccy' of Prince lying down asleep last winter is so sad. I am looking forward to your updates - I bet he is singing to himself all day everyday now - he must be so happy.

Seeing that picture of him stretching up to the tree has made me cry, blooming heck!!

What a truly wonderful thing you have done, can't wait to see him in a couple of months, i am sure if horses could talk he would be telling you 'thank you'.
 
Oh gosh is he yours now! :D :D Sorry obviously havent kept up!

Oh that poor poor lad!! I bet he'll pick up quickly though, even though he's so thin his coat is good and there's a spark in his eye. Well done you for getting him! :D I bet he's going to be stunning!!! heartbreaking that somone could let him get in such a state. WELL DONE! :D Can't wait to see him in 6months or so :)
 
Lovely to see him enjoying life. :) So impressed with the detective work on here, too! You lot are like some HHO CSI! Are any of you good with mass spec?? ;)
 
Hi Jessi - I am no expert at all but watching his free trot I thought he looked remarkably sound after what he has been through! And yes post on here lots please :)
 
Hi Jessi - Hope you don't mind me saying and it is difficult to tell but I noticed in the picture that he may be reaching up to eat Oak leaves - some horses can become addicted to them and the leaves and twigs are poisonous as well as the acorns.

http://www.horseweb-uk.com/features/plantmain.htm
Poisoning by oak is usually seasonal, being most common in spring when the young buds or leaves are eaten and the autumn when the acorns are eaten. Oak leaves and acorns contain tannic acid which is poisonous to horses and though eating a small number of leaves or acorns is almost certainly harmless, they can also be addictive, and once a horse has acquired a taste for them they can actively search them out. Also some animals seem to be more suseptible to oak poisoning than others with individual animals having different levels of tolerance.
Oak poisoning causes gastroenteritis and kidney damage.
Symptoms include:
•lack of appetite
•staring coat
•constipation followed by diarrhoea which may be bloodstained
•abdominal pain
•depression
•blood in urine
There is no antidote. The horse is treated with drugs to reduce the pain and control the diarrhoea, antibiotics may be prescribed.
Prevention
In general it is best to restrict the access of horses to acorns, particularly if other food is scarce,or else pick up the fallen acorns at least once a day - although this method is time-consuming and less effective as most horses will still find some. The best thing to do is fence off oak trees - either permanently or with electric fencing.

I'd hate for you to have rescued him and then he manages to poison himself! :(

Perhaps just keep an eye out to make sure he isn't eating the leaves in preference to the grass. :)

Hello! We dont have any oak trees! As far as im aware! I was told we didnt and ive never seen an acorn in the last 3 years lol! The leaves he's eating are willow, the long slender pale ones, but the ones that resemble oak are the same you find in hedgerows. I dont know what they are called though ): but thank you for the advice, hes not in that field at the moment but il get the yard owner to have a look, shes good with trees!
 
He looks so much better already, just brighter in himself as though he knows things are looking up. You are fantastic for doing this. :-)
 
I *think* the oak lookey likey plant is hawthorn, don't think it's oak, other possibility is field maple. Mine lives eating ash trees and branches, and is partial to acorns, and breaking down the fence I put up to fence off the oak tree :rolleyes3:
