yessssssssss thats evil colin!!!!!!bless him....with a sledge hammer!!!...he has a bit of a history does our colin!!!!a friend of mine told me about a lad who owned these 2 tbs and wasnt looking after them,which resulted in the yard owner chucking him out...and as he had no-where to go was sending them to a not very reputable dealer,the lad had taken on far more than he could chew and basically couldnt cope....so action required!!!!!i hadnt got the £ss or cringes couldnt cope with 2 tbs,so another of my friends did!!!he bought them off the lad quickly with no more than a promise that they will be well fed,cared for and i will find good homes for them....and duly he did,the other tb was sold to another friend who tried her best with him but he was trouble so he went off to scotland to a new owner,sad but it happens and our dear colin stayed in the valley with sam who loves him to bits and is doing lots with him,bethany rode him before he was sold and fell madly in love begged and begged me to buy him...but ooohh dear he is the thing of my nightmares!!!!long,tall,thin skinned,needs bucket loads of feed and at least 10 rugs!!!!!!although i did like his nature he was sweet.........until he travelled in with our milly!!!!!!!!ggggggggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr......anyway it turns out about 2 owners ago.....he came from "horse imports" and thats as far as we know...so im guessing he has a bit of a dodgy past for whatever reason he ended up there,and is probably a lot older than his passport says,but hey who cares for now he has a great home with sam and thats all that matters......"colin the terrible" bella i think i have a photo for you.....  |

LOL...I always think "butter wouldn't melt" and then they get into a situation where they think "Mum can't see me...so I'll be a booger to my sibling and pick on her 'cuz Mum can't see".....reminds me of childhood....I've had lots of cousins bigger than me thought they could wail on me just when the adults weren't near....so I could see Colin taking a pop at Milly ;D Cheeky! I think all in all Colin and the other tb landed on their feet and got extremely lucky. So often with tbs they go from bad to worse, and it ends rather badly for horse n owner  I know what you mean about sending bucketloads of feed into them just to make sure they *don't* look like a rescue case! LOL... at the end of the day Sam loves him, and he does look a good ride for her. |
