awh nickya he is better than the original pics he is truly stunning jupiter likes the hanging licks (even though there is only string in the morning) and also he loves his decahdron he boots it about waiting for the pony nuts to come out bertie i can,t believe they would go to slaughter just for colouring that is awful i am so proud that so many biggies are getting a second chance

Yep - my Podge was one of a batch of colts that were due to go to the butcher (it's the colts that aren't allowed to be a stud stallion, the fillys are fine... another reason to be female!).
This will probably sound dreadful, but I don't have a problem with the French sending their horses going for meat (as long as it's done humanely.... same as a cow or any other animal). It's meant that the Breton horse has a wonderful amount of animals on it's stud book (in excess of 5,000), unlike the British Suffolk horse (under 400), where there are less Suffolks in the UK than the Giant Panda (and what advertising do they get for being so endangered!!).
Nicky - can you get a lickit thingy on a rope, as iwillbuy has mentioned - they are fab!!

Hiya i will have a look at my local tack shop tomorrow! Bertie i know and agree, its not something that will be changed (although im veggie so i feel bad for all the animals) i just hate the thought of the way they have to go all the way to italy for it and they way they are travelled - its horrid I will get some pony nuts cos my stable toy has the hole for treats, for tonight i hid some hay around the stable like a little treasure hunt ;D

He is georgeous! Good that the gelding went well! Is it to early for murdering big swedes? What about a ball to lob around instead of his bucket, which you could wedge in a nice big tyre!

hehe he has now murdered a swede and put the bucket in a tyre he pulled this -rather large- bucket out of it then threw the tyre about. I put my mare in the stable next door (its about a meter away so they cant touch each other) and he looked at her then just ate his hay, lead him past and he was fine! no probs! Yayyyy! the little ar*e tried to kick me! (well paw me with his front leg cos i wouldnt let him barge at me for food) Other then that he has been a sweetie =D A little picy of the beast

I think he is georgeous and yes his bum does look big in that! He is obviously a complete thug but I'm glad he enjoyed the tyre! How much longer have you got before he can go out clubbing!?

Hows the swelling Nicky?
We had to cold hose Podge every few days to make sure that the wound didn't clog up with nasty stuff and was able to drain.
