Just discovered my big mare is famous....

[Mongoose11]

I have been sat researching feed today as now that we are doing much more work I figured I need to look into what she needs more specifically...

Anyway, went on the Dengie website and clicked on the case study of a good doer and there was my own horse staring at me!

I found out from it that she used to be kept on her own in an 8 acre field... poor lamb. This explains why she is so bloody aloof with the herd she is in. The other four will be playing and grazing together and she is always 350 yards away!

I must say that she looks grim hogged and what did they do to her tail. She is quite trim in comparison. It is really weird to have seen this!

Pic in my sig is her. Here is the link, her name is also Lady Olivia not Lady Olivier....

I bet you did a double take - all alone in an 8 acre field, I guess she got used to her own company - she looks lovely but much better with a forelock

 

[DuckToller]

Lady Olivier indeed - you would have thought someone would have worked that one out!

Was this the previous owner to you?

 

[Mongoose11]

No. I bought her from a lady called Annabel, Karen must have been her first owner after her breeder as she has only had four owners including me. She has a home with me for life. I can't believe how different she looks here - big thug! Now she has full feathers and a flowing mane!!

How Exciting!

Now she has full feathers and a flowing mane!!

Could we have a pic please?

 

[Mongoose11]

Haven't got any recent ones on this laptop I'm afraid. Here is one from about September last year - her mane is twice as long now and you can't see her hooves at all. She has feathers that start half way up her leg!

Never had much luck with posting pics on here so who knows if that will have worked!

You can see a fair bit of difference from the Dengie website!!!

bet that was quite a shock! Lol
"aw that looks like my horse.......wait...... that IS my horse"

She is beautiful, much prefer your pic, with her mane Not a fan of hogged really

Loving the au natural look ! Much nicer than the hogged pic. Lovely pony . Lucky you !

 

[Mongoose11]

Thank you she really is bloody brilliant, feisty cow but has let me fulfill my dream of cantering in open spaces again - my confidence was smashed after an accident. Hope to head for our first show this summer!

I had recently posted a hog or not to hog thread on here - now I have found this Dengie pic I am glad I went with the majority and decided to keep her hairy!!

The lady who bought my cob hogged him. I cried when I saw the pics. He looked so severe and so not like the lovely soft boy I sold. Regret it to this day.
