More Pony Pictures To Bore You With...

[chloe]

Took these this morning - the snow's melted and the ponies are thoroughly enjoying wallowing in the mud again

Brought mine into the paddock this morning for a feed and a rug change - from medium to nothing for Kai and from medium to lightweight for Dolly. They were both angelic, especially Kai who has never had a rug taken off while outside before, who stood stock still while I pulled it off him loose in the paddock. He's taken great care of it and apart from a bit of mud, it's completely undamaged - fantastic as it will probably be sold on next year since he's almost outgrown it already!

Kai without rug


Dolly naked between rug changes - she's weighing in at 372kg (down from 408kg) and is a condition score 4 at the moment so still a way to go but I'm pleased!

Then let them loose and they went off at full gallop for a good loon.

And Dolly! She can fly when she wants to.

look at those thick coats

They knew it was going to get cold way before I did - Dolly's coat was way thicker than Kai's until she was clipped. And the amount of hair that came off her was the same as what came off 2 cobs and 3 Thoroughbreds!

Lovely pictures, Kai looks so cute:)

I wish my horse would grow a winter coat - the only difference between his summer and winter coat is that the winter coat is less ginger

Very jealous Sophie, I bet he's easier to groom than mine! Dolly was groomed before being clipped and it took 2.5 hours over 2 days to get her clean enough for the clippers to easily get through (couldn't bath her as she wouldn't have dried, the coat was that thick ) I tried to groom Kai a few weeks ago but gave up and just chopped his tail short instead to prove I'd done something with him lol!
