It was the end of March when this special boy fell ill. We knew he had Cushing’s but after a week in the vets we found out that it was the worst type. Adrenal. He has being doing really good up until yesterday when he stopped eating again. Best steak mince is the only thing he will eat at the moment. I don’t think he has long. My beautiful, gentle Terence. One of the Sheffield 13, Mr Mole and Bungles brother. We have lost so many horses and dogs lately, they certainly do not live long enough…
Brothers and sisters, I bid you beware, of giving your heart, to a dog to tear….
We have now managed to find some lovely volunteers and this is one of them, Andrea with Terence & Bungle. The boys are a bit overwhelmed with their new home but the ponies in the background are having a fabulous time. I can’t quite believe that all this belongs to the Charity..
Well we had only been here 3 days when Uriah let out the scream of death. He had been running around the garden with Lana having a lovely time. I knew straight away what he had done and with the severity of the break I knew the outcome would be the dreaded C word…and it was.
The new vets are thankfully only 10 minutes away and although it was really, really strange and scary not going to Donaldson’s, they were and have been really good.
I have never before had a leg amputated and have generally advised against it. He had been dropping weight and now we know why.
Two days post op, I was wondering if I had done the right thing. Thirteen days post op I know that I did. Even if he only has a few more months it will be worth it. Every minute spent with this boy is a bonus. He is just so lovely, an absolute gentleman who I couldn’t let go just yet…and Lana adores him too they are inseparable…
This little lady came to Tia in 2018 from the council. Another unwanted pony. She is 4/5 years old.
She was rehomed but came back to us just before we moved up here. She was being ridden.
She is so friendly she follows you around like a dog. She will make someone a fantastic pony. We cannot rehome her just yet as we are waiting for our license to come through. But she can be reserved.
Please ring me if you are interested….thanks Deb 07974960684
