Thank you all! I think I'm learning just as much as he is! I had a go at teaching him to slow down and speed up when lunging. So far I have discovered he listens to me much better without the pressure of the lunge whip, so I have thrown that out. I got him to walk going anti-clockwise, we...

I just wanted to share a few photos from the past few days of what Kevin and I have been up to As most of you already know I gelded him on the 11th of Jan. We now do a bit of training of an afternoon. Photos at the bottom if you dont want to read My goal in the future is to be able to have...

You learn something new everyday ! That sounds interesting though with the moon sign, I had never heard of it before. Although I know how the moon controls the tides, but I didnt know it had an affect on animals and plants. That is different, how would your vets normally castrate your horses...

I guess the vet he meant that Ted's teeth aren't sharp therefore they shouldn't be cutting his cheek like my mare's teeth did. So he thought it could be an old ulcer or a sarcoid. The vet didn't really go much into depth in looking as he had 3 horses to geld that day, but I think Tenae wants...

Thank you all for your replies, I'll pass it all on to Tenae. I thought it had been deleted or something because I couldn't find it in the part I posted, but then it popped up in here? There is no tenderness in the lump, it doesn't phase him when you touch it or put pressure to it. The lump is...

Marsha, what do you mean by "scheduled by the moon sign" ?? Thanks Paula !! I found it very interesting to watch, the Vet also had a Vet student along with him, although he didn't take part in the actual procedure. He mainly prepped and observed. The vet would talk through what he was doing...

Hi, I am asking this question on behalf of a friend that has 2 rescue horses that live on our property. Ted is a rescue that our friends,had brought in on Christmas Eve, he is around 2 years old. A week or so after he he arrived here they had noticed a large lump on the side of his face. He...

I took Kevin's braids out. His mane was crazy!

Thank you I was pretty happy with how it fitted on him, my first one was so out of proportion with a small tight nose band, long cheek pieces and a massive cheek piece. So I gave up, then I decided to have another shot at it the other day The flowers are paper flowers on a piece of wire My...

Haha, thank you! Kevin is definitely one of a kind, and every horse is in their own special way. We have been training in little baby steps, for my benefit and his Yesterday I got him to stand on some things for fun I also made him his own rope halter, I had only made 1 before that one...

Well he is going to be a little kids lead line pony in the future ! At least he plays the part!

Thank you all ! So I could say he is a Pony, Miniature pony, Small pony or Part Shetland? I have been calling him a Small pony to some visitors, although I had no clue what he actually was. Either way, hes still Kevin! I have photos of him today, I also measured him, he only came to 40...

Hello, I was just wanting to see what people's opinions on what Kevin is. He is around 41 inches? I will check his height properly tomorrow. And a mini is usually under 38 inches aren't they? But If his parents were miniatures does that make him a mini regardless? I have owned his mother she...

Here's one of the vet helping Ted on his way down.

Yeah, its like a weight lifted off my shoulders getting it over and done with. Oh really? I had my Shetland, Dusty gelded in 2008, he was the first one we got done. I refused to watch it haha. Although I was very happy with this vet. The one in 2008 was no where near as gentle with Dusty. The...

We finally got the boys Castrated! I have been wanting to get my Kevin gelded for way over a year now, I finally got the money to cover the costs myself, our friends keep their 2 rescue horses on our property, they got them gelded too. Having 3 horses done reduces the costs a bit for travel...

Thanks Ryan!!

My silkie chicks have grown into fine young ladies.

She has been wearing one ever since, its staying on her fine. Although Id never lead her by the collar, its just so if she goes missing again there is something to show shes actually a pet and not wild. I want to get her a good harness and train her to lead so we can go for walks.

Thanks all I'm getting her a collar today and ordering a name tag with my Ph number on it in case it ever happens again. I also want to see if we can microchip her as well.
