Had a clip today and his microchip inserted and vaccinated, absolutely faultless 

Tyrell J Smith Sorry my mistake, didn’t read properly, even more frustrating! 

So annoying when people twist the truth to get a sale, could have been a nasty one, sounds like the right decision

Chris Hall I sure will, I have 4 already (well bigger versions) and I love them, he’s found his feet today so to speak, not phased by machinery but petrified of water!!

This was his reaction to a small puddle, caught on camera as he bunny hopped over it 🤣🤣

Richard Boatwright haha yeah, more your size I reckon 😉

Such a sweet nature, once he’s gelded and had a summer on the pasture he will be top notch.

Think this lad is destined to be on the harrow and cart and shown in hand a bit next year.

I’m sure he would love to be a mascot! 

If it wasn’t for the Atlantic I’d give him to Lily as I know she loves her Vanners!

Well he’s had a groom and trim and I had a session in the round pen, he’s not afraid of anything, roped him, flagged him, even haltered him and led him around, gonna have lots of fun with Sid I think

New Pony Alert!

So we had a free stable (stall) that is already paid for and it was for the new foal that wasn’t meant to be…… meet Sidney 

He is a bit of a rescue Job and is in poor shape, but I’ve always fancied having a mini cob (gypsy vanner) in the herd and he certainly is that.

8-9 months old and around 10h and a Grey Blagdon (not sure what your US equivalent is)

he had been tethered on scrub land and I don’t think has ever been handled, led, wormed, groomed, had his feet done or anything, matted up and in a bit of a state.

But this little lad, mark my words will turn out to be a swan rising from an ugly duckling, still a colt but a very sweet eye and inquisitive nature.

Can’t wait to get him sorted and cleaned up, he will be a stunner. 

Destined to be a grass cutter and also put on the cart to give him a job. 

His education starts tomorrow…..
