Cruise had pretty much been abandoned since last autumn. through winter without a cover too. i finally got him -rescued him!-on Tuesday. he looks so horrible - Poor Pony.
Cruise saddled up for his 3rd ride. he looks a lot nicer with gear on!!
So a small fact file...
- show name is Hailwin
- 16.1hh
- 11 years old
- hasn't done a lot, basic dressage and PT eventing.
I have cruise on free lease for this season and if hes going well probably the season after too.
hes a real mellow horse who I'm thinking will do well in dressage. but eventing is our plan. hoping to get to Pre-Novice at the end of the season.
But not looking like much of a show pony now!
hes..
- Hes skinny, Brought loads of feed for him the other day and really feeding him up, so hoping he gains weight soon.
- Possibly got worms, brought a drench asap, I've no idea when he was last done.
- He had rain scald all over his back! most of which has healed up but now hes left with bald patches everywhere. but I've been washing him every sunny day with a medicated wash.
- His mane was down do his shoulder and tail o the ground, washed all them and trimmed the tail, and nearly finished pulling his mane - Big job!!
here's some pictures of him yesterday and his current condition, already I've noticed his coat shinier, and hopefully he will fatten up soon.
