Gorgeous photo of Ted. It certainly sounds like he had an utter ball!
Good Grief, is this thread still going?
How did Tim do at dressage?
I have been remiss and just caught up, so pleased this is still going thanks AA and Ted
Ted .
Mine once did similar with an unwanted sheep who broke in. Completely hysterical.
How’s Martha?
Home from her 3rd trip to horsepital 10 days ago. Tested for everything known to man all negative thankfully. Now having little to no access to flushing autumn grass to prevent any further colic episodes. She is now wildly bad tempered and prone to throwing anything she can get hold of, across the yard. Rode her this morning, shaken not stirred !
I have simply circumvented the part where you hope for a sound, sane horse who can do stuff by simply buying one with major problems - so anything other than time off is a bonus!
When he gets upset he does it in style. After 8 years of effort we have had a major set back. This was caused by a cow falling through the hedge into Ted's field. This was Wednesday and I can still barely handle him on the ground. Ridden yesterday and mega reactive.
The luck I am having with my motley crew at present is driving me to the point of giving up. It is a blessing I have no other interests other than sleeping and eating.
I hope Ted and you are doing a little better now...
Good idea. I've heard very positive stories from friends of stressy horses becoming sensible, calm happy hackers after a full workup.Gassy cob suggestion sorry ted....have you asked for a microbiome assessment of her gut microbes....there might be something there which is not helping the problem, which is over producing with the change to grass?
