Glad to hear broked horses arent too broked and should be better soon!, i remember my old mare on ventapulmin and it worked mega quick on her! I might get a chance to do some odd grooming/care bits soon for a friend, i cant wait!, makes a nice change to wandering fields taking foal pics!

All being well i'm heading over to see lil foaly today, if not today then over the weekend, i shall take the camera Hope wee Bumble is doing ok x

I really hope Bumble starts to feel better real soon! i went to see another new foal yesterday, a wee black filly, very sweet

My lil many tears lad, Eddie, is 3 today He arrived a very scardey lad He's grown into a beautiful lad

Must be the day for the beach, we took the pup to the sand dunes today along with Eddie and Diesel How wonky as these wee legs

Thank you wise Owl, i shall keep an eye and also speak to the vet when the results come back

Mrs Wise Owl, one of Diesels lumps (he has a few) is big, like almost half tennis ball size, the vet took a sample and it went down, now its coming back up, would that be normal for a fluid filled one? I've just found another 2 lumps too, i am not liking this the big one feels different to the others too, some are tiny.. but one of the ones i just found is near his windpipe

Hehe, mine loves puppy nature diet, chicken dinner... lol

I hope Freddies lump is nothing yukky, Diesel had biopsys taken friday, waiting now for results!

Alicia she is lovely!, I've a poopie too tho mines 8 months old, he arrived on foster monday, i failed by wednesday..... oops! P.S i hate poopie breathe too!

My dog is bonkers We took the Edster out with Holly and Tom earlier, can you spot him?

I managed to watch a mare foal last week, what an experience

Thank you Lesley :-) I have just been catching up on fb, i believe the worse animals were moved sometime last week so now its the better looking ones left, I have actually seen them this weekend, the worse worry now is they arent safe, they have free access to open roads/lanes etc

At last its hit the press about the 'traveller' pony problem http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-12587087 And the Echo are running something tomorrow! We know of 6 dead so far, one's been in the field so long the poor thing is rotting :-( Some have vanished, the lame and sick, funny that! They are being linked to the Llanelli ponies now Lesley... as expected, and also its believed the 'owner' has approx 1500 scattered all over..... and thats before foaling season kicks in :-(

And the plot thickens, there are 11 ponies currently on the housing estate next to where i live :-(

I had a call at 2.30, 3 ponies on the park, again :-( Just had a text from a mate, 1 now sadly dead traveller pony, not sure of details yet, but apparently all the others have vanished.... and its the last thursday of the month tomorrow, Llanybydder... apparently thats where they are headed, but how with no passports hmmmm

One of my next steps is the local press, i have a contact there who i hope will do something

WHW are my next stop, sadly as Lesley says its such a big group no one i guess has the room etc to do much, i guess once they get some spring/summer grass a fair load will go for meat.... but then it wont be long and we'll see foals about here too..... just walking the dogs this afternoon I can see they have been out and about again, goodness only knows where they have been and where they'll end up this time. They arent in awful condition so the Rspca cant do anything, obviously the conditions arent ideal, but the roaming is a massive problem, we've also had strangles outbreaks down this way in last 2 weeks, and its about 2 weeks since this lot appeared, a friend lost a mare last week.... I just wish it was possible these poor animals all had loving homes, they are so nervy of people it would be a massive job, but keep the suggestions coming i am more than happy to keep emailing/writing/fighting in any way i can These are the pics i took when i passed their fields The last pic, there were 40 plus behind the hedge

I have no idea of the actual amount, originally i was told 70, then anywhere between 70 and 130.... because of the way the fields they are in are laid out you cant see the whole field, I saw at least 40 in 1 part, its sad... there is another part of this 'herd' a few miles away and rumour has it, the numbers are similar.... and they havent started foaling yet... question is tho how do you get someone to take action and help them?

I sorted my jeans last week, i now also have 3 pairs lol These poor horses cant be caught, they are practically unhandled and very weary of people, the Rspca will only remove anything thats deemed ill or if anything is caught and contained, which somehow i cant see any of these being, its all really sad :-( Some of the ones i saw in the field the other day really are beautiful, or could be..... i couldnt see them all, hedges in ways and you dont really want to be going into the field when theres maybe 50 plus gonna surround you by the gate, i just feel so sorry for them

I have an owner name, apparently the rest are in bonvilston..... Made some calls, doubt much will be done, took 9 calls to the ole bill and they sent 2 policewoman, with 2 leadropes, thats gonna help NOT! Had a call from mums neighbour 2 nights ago, 2 were in the lanes, would i go 'catch' them, like erm no one can! Feel for them tho, and a few weeks and we'll have the foals too *sigh*

Anyone want to come play with 70 plus traveller ponies that are currently on the rampage round here? *sigh* 2 hours spent herding 2 away from main roads and back to near where they came from and the police finally sent 2 'police woman' to come *help*, bit bleedin late!...... And all the mares are due to drop foals soon!..... oh the joys!

Morning all! cant sleep, lots of stressful things going on here none of them good! Anyone want to adopt me?

I had some amazing hacks and lessons in the old place, i knew it was sold and had changed use, it is a little sad but i guess thats what happens to so many places.... good memories tho!

I used to ride at the L & A when Libby and Alan had it, now i feel old
