This has gone on too long.

Me and him have an understanding. He doesn't kick, headbutt or bite me and in exchange i love him. Suits us well.

I've just read through this entire thread and misted up round about the time you said this ˄˄˄˄˄

So glad you kept fighting for the poor boy and that he gets to live out his days being loved and cared for! Well done OP :biggrin3:

This has really put a smile on my face this evening. Looking forward to more updates on him soon :)
 
Awwwwww - what a lucky boy he is.

Well done J&M - you're a star!

We'll you'll have another joining you with the crying on sunday. Kyra (queen of the yard) is coming back from a week at a riding schools pony club and i can only imagine her face when she sees this skinny old man hanging around her palace. Oh the squealing that will occur.

Very excited to see his passport tomorrow. I hear he has champion lines on his thoroughbred side and very interested in his actual age, i've been told all the numbers from 15 - 27 and it'd be nice to find out who's lying :P

Ice cream (mint choc chip) and bottled water (to even it out :P) for all the readers.

And a special thanks to AmyMay. You were the one who Pm'd me and pushed me to contact the BHS, you gave me support and advice.

I've told prince he'll be famous!
 
I hope he will now live out his days in peace and happiness with you, well done for all your efforts and being there for him.
 
I cannot remember the last time I was so moved - I am in absolute admiration of you Jess - so many talk the talk, you have done the walk. I am so ashamed that I don't do more. Good luck to you - this should be a movie
 
Very well done Jess! How wonderful of you to persevere and do your best for this poor boy. I will keep everything crossed for you and him in the future. Look forward to updates.
 
congratulations, all your hard work has paid off. I hope the Prince has a long and happy life with you. Some day you will be repaid for all you compassion and kindness shown to this old boy.
 
I gave him the feed and proceeded to remove the matts, mud and winter coat. Cleaned his thrushy feet with hibi, frog disinfectant and stockholm tar and dealt with the flies.

Lucky Prince! He will be so delighted and amazed when he realises this is going to be a regular occurrence :)
Just read the thread all the way through and your support, determination and unconditional adoration of this horse has shone through. Well done you.


The final touch was a brand new headcollar and for once in many, many years he actually looked like someones horse.

*Sniff*! Picture of Prince in new headcollar please :)
 
Amazing news :) pictures please !!

Although pleaed note not all horses that look like that are not looked after and not loved :(

My old boy came back from loan a bag of bones , I spent £100's if pounds per month on feed and supplements trying to fatten him up :(
 
Another who has just read the whole thread. Seems there is now something wrong with my computer screen as it has gone all blurred for some reason...
Well done OP, many would have given up long ago. x
 
Jessi, well done! I'm in Essex, if he's around 6'6 I'm sure I can dig out a few excess turnout rugs for you. PM if interested.
 
Massive well done to you!!
Hope he continues to progress and gets all the love that he deserves from such a great person- you!!
We defo need updates and pictures!!
