Breezer
"Breezer arrived here on the evening of
Sunday 11th of July 2004 as a yearling Shetland filly with badly deformed hind
legs. The condition is known as capped hock and hers is a really bad case. She
came from a breeder who did not want her
because of her condition she cannot be
bred with. He was asked specifically by our mutual vet not to offload her onto
us as we had enough mouths to feed!"

Caring for your pony/horse - daily routine
This is intended as a rough guide as daily routine will
depend on many factors including where the pony is kept
how much time you have
and how fit the pony is.
Morning feed - the horse may need to be brought in if it has
been in the field overnight.
Muck out stable - if possible
the horse should be tied up
outside to decrease the risk of airway disease caused by dust and spores in the
bedding. It is polite and often a necessity to keep the area around your stable
neat and tidy so sweep up here too. (See essential equipment section for mucking
out equipment).
Ensure that water buckets are cleaned and refilled.
Put up a hay-net if the pony is to be kept stabled during the day.
Pick out feet and groom thoroughly before tacking up the horse for exercise.
Exercise the horse - daily exercise at least once a day is
essential for most horses.
If the horse is sweaty following exercise
ensure that the
horse is rubbed down and dried thoroughly before putting back in the stable or
turning out - a sweat rug can be useful in this situation.
When you return in the evening
feed the horse
skip out the
stable (brief mucking out to remove droppings and wet areas of bedding) and
ensure there is plenty of water and hay available if the horse is to stay in
overnight.
Repeat exercise if possible - alternatively
the main
exercise of the day can be performed in the evening if that fits in with your
schedule better.
