    Hi Iain,

    Glad that you got him, and especially glad that he wasn't put down.

    Smart boy too - even found the grass despite the hood

    Seems a bit nasty to do that. Well done on the new family member, and the "good deed".
    Cheers,

    The last of my race horses (Pacers) is back in work. If he doesn't fire this time in, you can have him too. Keep a spare spot in the paddock.
    If at first you don't succeed, give something else a go. Life is far too short to waste time trying.

    Steve B, it's a fly veil, they can see very nicely thankyou, made out of material like flywire.
    Farmhand, too young to be gelded (him not me:eek: ), about another year when the 'goodies' present themselves.
    He will get a lot bigger, reckon he is about 200kg at the moment.
    We just got in from carting hay which we had baled today and he has his eye on it already.
    God I hate hay carting
    Cut to pieces and itchy as buggery, even after having a shower.

    Well done Iain

    I imagine feeding them cannot be too cheap at times, but seems a shame that someone would consider putting a horse down because they cant feed them

    Yup, trotters or harness horses as they are now known. An absolute money pit !
