Just a quick Bert thread, seeing as I'm totally absorbed with the big'uns problems, little easy trouble free Bert is feeling left out (and I had a request for some pics! lol)
He's doing well though, I got him back from his loan home at the beginning of 2008, he was grossly fat, struggling to breathe he was so fat, but luckily no lammi.
I found him somewhere he could be out 24/7 on little grass, and he had several people who missed him whilst he was away who all offered to take him for walks in hand, so he quickly lost the really dangerous weight.
Then I moved him back up to my yard where I keep Snip, and he was turned out with another Shettie, William, who he immediately formed a bond with and hey are now inseperable!
He has 2 young girls who started grooming and riding him, then one of their parents approached me and offered to pay towards his keep - course I jumped at the chance so they pay his weekly livery and I cover all other costs. He's been out hacking, jumping, schooling - all sorts again and his weight is now almost spot on. I'm hoping to keep the weight loos going until he's everso slightly underweight before we go into spring...
Anyway, only the one newish pic I'm afraid, I have others but I've lost the lead for my phone so can't get them on the poot!
And a couple of old favourites!!...

I can tell by the way he's flying over that jump!
