Quitus arrived safely about an hour ago I met Uge and Cybelle and the little donkey Woffords saved and all seem fine, really quiet and munching their hay. Woffords have looked after them really well so hope they arrive to their new homes nice and relaxed. Quitus is in poor shape...all ribby with snotty nose and weepy eyes but in time i'm sure he will turn around. Hes a little stressed but we left him munching hay and i'll be back to see him in a couple of hours. He had a little bit of food but i was wondering if a bran mash would be ok on his stomach? any thoughts? heres a few pics..i'll take more later, he was walking around the box so hard to get one of him standing LOL

Simone get him on either NAF Pink Powder or a 10 day course of NAf Immuforte, add it to a simple chaff ( Happy hoof maybe ) and a stud and condition mix but not bucket sof it, 3 or 4 or even 5 small meals a day... Keep feed simple and worming gentle for now . I'd get him on the probiotics first build his gut flora back up then worm him in 10 days or so time. Good grass , love and care will make such a change in him. he's lovely. well done. emw x

Great to see pics of the first french horse safe in his new home. He's obviously in need of a lot of TLC. So glad he's find a good home and has arrived safe and well.

He's lovely! Once he knows he's going to be loved i'm pretty sure he will become D-stressed.Well-done for rescuing him
