    Ummm...YES! I'm looking for a pony at least, and a Clydie sounds perfect for DP (though this horse is supposed to be for DP, sort of ). Only, I need to wait till closer to the moving date cos I can't afford to agist any more for now Can you hold onto them till about October (or whenever the shed is 'weekend-ready')? Cos then I'll move them all on together.
    There's plenty of grass for them, I'd be surprised if the TB needs much supp feeding, actually, once we're on the farm.
    I need a mare, though, to be the mummy of my Irish Cob cross or Friesian cross!

    We got two miniature ponies last week. Our first horses. Sooooo exciting and they are so so sweet. My boys adore them. Enjoy your new baby!

    Lost him About 2 hours ago. Broke his leg and was put down before I could get there. He was warm when I said goodbye to him in the paddock. I think it's just hitting me now, so I won't stay on.
    I don't want to talk about it on facebook, either, for those I'm friends with there.
    DP has gone down to the farm, as planned (bit later than planned, cos of this) and I've cancelled my plans for the day to process it. Thankfully DS is with my parents in the country, but it won't be easy telling him our new boy is gone.
    Stoopid horses. He was just so beautiful and I was going to have a friend mind DD while I rode him on Tuesday.
