Re: Ponies!
Awww lovely! What a nice deep colour. Rockys colour goes really rich in summer too.
That's a shame about the rescue, but yes it's very easy to fall out when horses are concerned!
I'm looking forward to seeing jack growing up and being part of his learning and development. We have a natural horsmanship worker coming out this week to show us a few things and hopefully get him leading better in hand

Re: Ponies!
oh yes the world of horses can be very very catty, i found that out the hard way, not long after the rescue went belly up my loan pony, of 3 years, who i took on in a semi wild, unbroken, scared of all human contact, state, and turned into a perfect little pony was sold out from under my nose with no warning
is jack gelded yet? what height is he supposed to make do you know?

Re: Ponies!
That's not good, I dunno what it is but you do see a different side to people when it comes to horses sometimes. The same happened to my friend recently
Jack was gelded about 6 weeks ago. We nearly lost him actually as he continued to bleed quite heavily afterwards. He had dozens of vet visits and his blood count was getting dangerously low. The vets took responsibility for cutting the tube too high and not clamping it off properly. He was a very poorly pony and they nearly had to open him right up to find the bleed. He's recovered from all that now thank god and is back to his cheeky self - he jumped a 4 foot fence the other day to prove he's ok!
Apparently he'll make 15.hh or round about but not much is know about the father because the lady who had him before bought his mum pregnant

Re: Ponies!
Stories like these about the horse world is why I'd save up to buy a horse rather than loan one off someone (And also why I'd rather not do livery, but having a place big enough to house a horse is not likely ) Of course, this is all ten years down the line or so
