I also have 2 horses (one is off on loan) but heres my highland 'Foxy' she's 21 this year and such a fab old girl, worth her weight in gold, taught Tess alot and even takes her out for hacks
I now and again have her down in my garden to graze on the grass, i think my neighbours think i'm a bit crazy (i live in town) lol
LucyL, their amazing. Why not have them grazing on your lawn. It saves time and a bit of money.
At the moment we have 2 goldies Barley he's 5 and berry 3
Berry on right, Barley on left. Training them to leave biscuit, I can leave the room and they won't pick it up until I pick it up and give it to them.Until last February i had Bracken, last august diagnosed with leukaemia, on tablets for a few months until after Christmas, then he started to go down hill suddenly, tried different things, but he wasn't responding. He died naturally at home. Too early to get to vet and the out of hours vet was busy.
We did have 5 at one stage.
At the back from right, Bramble, Logan, Moss. On grass, left to right,
A couple of recent ones of Dudley. Still working with the dog trainer every other week but he's really coming on. So glad we went for a rescue.
Loves jumping up on things. He thinks he should some kind of agility dog I think!
Still getting ticks though when he visits my parents farm. He's now taking tablets (ref Logan) but I believe these work by killing blighters once they latch on rather than putting them off initially. I prefer to get rid as soon as I notice but hopefully the tablets will address any suckers we don't initially spot.
Yes he's great Joyce. Mind you I think we all feel that about our pets.
This is a picture of him when we went to see him at the RSPCA foster home. His hair was all matted and yellow. The yellow was from him being in his own urine. We didn't know at the time but he was in complete shutdown. We thought he was just a quiet chap.
They had no choice but to shave him. His hair was so long and matted
First night 'home' and he was exhausted but content
oh Dave, that pic of Dudley crashed out on your chair brought tears to me eyes......he looks so relaxed and content compared to the pic of him all matted and yellow. I hope he has many happy years with you in his wonderful new life

Dudley has got such an appealing little face. . . . he is gorgeous.

There has been a transformation in him......from dejection to joy.
Dave Humby, it's best to use a spot on treatment instead of tablets. He's lovely.
Thanks Logan, I love having her at the house, only thing is she weighs a fair bit so often leaves hoof prints throughout the garden
Scroggin, I've been doing agility for almost 2 years with Tess now, she totally loves it! She's really good at it to we're in grade 4 already.
Dudley is very cute! I give Tess Brevacto? tablet and that deals with any ticks we encounter, they literally bite and die
