This has gone on too long.

I did post an explanation about my footwear but my internet was down so i could only manage 4 pictures on the phone. I got all suited thinking i'll just finish work and my riding boots will be in the car i'll look all professional for pictures but needless to say, they are hiding! After the first pic i did put my yard dublins on (without socks i may add, eww!) :D
Got a few vids to upload when i have time and tomorrow or sunday im going to trot him up and let you guys tell me what you think. His trot is so pretty! Im used to tiny ponies with legs that move faster than your eyes can, but his is so floaty and elegant!
 
Bless him. He must wonder what's going on to get all this love and attention. Hard to explain but he already looks happier.

So very glad he is now yours.
 
Great pics, esp the last one, he looks so happy! :)

Just amazing that Holding donated all that stuff- what a kind heart.

Thanks for the update, will look forward to the videos and watching him progress. :)
 
Holding - you absolute super star!!! I hope everybody local shops and shops and shops some more to make up for this! Jessi - he doesn't look good does he but as vet has said nothing basically wrong I bet he will look a different horse in 4 weeks....... My lad was a bit worse than him when I got him and 6 weeks later was unrecognisable. Little and often - just as you are doing will get you there. Thank you for not giving up...he is one lucky lad and already looks loved! x:)
 
What an amazing story. He looks like a lovely horse and it beggars belief how someone could just plonk him in a field and neglect him like this. Well done you. I'm sure he will make a speedy recovery with all the love, care and yummy feeds. A horse at a friends yard wasn't far off this condition during the winter but once the new grass came through he transformed back really quickly.
 
Just read the whole thread...leaky eyes, runny nose, wet cheeks, and a lump in my throat that won't let me swallow! And it's all been so worth it!!

Jessi, well done you!! You have given me renewed faith in humanity! The Tamarillo connection is very exciting...I think annagain's suggestion is well-taken. Prince is a handsome boy, and, with your loving care, will be even more so.

I think I've got a bottle of milk thistle that I can send your way.
 
Tamarillo was bred by Finn Guiness at Biddesden Stud, so it may be that he will be able to provide some information.....does he have a brand? Wonderful that you have been able to do this....
 
And here's a token picture from earlier in the year.

Hear hear :)

What a super story well done OP thats so moving had me blubbing away ! Happy days ahead :)
 
A lovely story. You need to write a book about him. I bet you could, and I bet it will be a sad, yet happy read. All the very best with him, and I'm another that is looking forward to future updates and photos. x
 
I've just read the whole thread and cheered out loud when I saw you have him! Fantastic outcome. Just a shame neglectful owners just get away with it so easily.
 
I too have just read the whole thread, well done Jessie for not giving up on him, and what a wonderful outcome- this has to be the best thread ever on hho. So what are his bloodlines do post when you get his passport :) what a lucky lucky horse - you should feel very proud of yourself and so should everyone offering donations too, stories like this are so heart warming :) :) look forward to more updates on prince xx
 
and for once in many, many years he actually looked like someones horse.
Jessiandmagic...you've made me cry, horses don't ask fr a lot and don't know of things such as potential etc, but they know of love and food. All horses in captivity deserve to be someone's horse, someone's pride and joy and for someone to be proud of them. Please be proud of yourself
