me and mum were accepted to adopt one of the amersham horses last year and he had his final rspca visit yesterday so hes officially ours now. all went well despite him being a little chubby but going by where he came from i think he can be forgiven for being a greedy pig:D hes a little horror he bosses the other 5 horses about despite being the youngest, he clambered over the stable door 3 times before we gave him a bigger one, he kicked out every bottom rail around our paddock, he managed to get from one side of the trailer to the other and face backwards when we picked him up (he was cross tied), he keeps pulling his front shoes off on the gate, he terrorises our shetland, insists on dropping most of his hay over the stable door and refuses to lunge he just plods in protest!! but desite his quirks hes just simply amazing. He'll go anywhere, seems to fear nothing which is good when you have to hack on a busy main road,do anything (but lunge), is fine with everyone and doesnt have a nasty bone in his body which considering his horrific start to life is bizarre, im suprised he, or any of the rescued horses want anything to do with people! sorry if ive gone on but im so pleased we've got him and had to share. Hes happy as "larry", a name well suited:D
 
what a wonderful story - well done you for giving that poor pony a lovely home - he sounds like a real character !! like you said its amazing that he doesnt try to kill any human that goes near him !!

pics please (especially ones of him being naughty !) xxx
 
What a glorious tale...very pleasing that he doesnt seem broken despite his horrid start in life...sounds like he has a very nice/understanding new home :D echo the above piccies please :)
 
Well done sounds like he is now one very lucky pony and who can blame him being a bit of a monkey...yes would love to see some pictures

Horrid thing that happened in Amersham..I drive around Bucks and who would ever have thought such a nightmare was going on.... as its a well heeled area.

But good luck nice to hear a happy ending.
 
It's so nice to read a positive, good news post like this. Well done and I hope you have years and years of fun with him.
 
Great news about your pony - a lucky escapre for the little one - when do we get to see a picture.

Just one thing really bugs me about all this - the farm they come from is in Hyde Heath - not Amersham - I really wish that the newspapers would get things accurate.

I lived in Amersham for 37 years - it is my home town and it really saddens me to have the newspapers refer to this atrocity to have come from Amersham.
