Hello!

Hi, I'm Toby, I'm a 13 year old thoroughbred cross and I'm a gelding but that is still a sore point so I prefer not to talk about it. Sarah found me on horse hunter whilst looking for her first horse, she thought that I looked like I could do with some good food and exercise from the photo on my advert but came to see me anyway. Unfortunately I didn't look much like the picture on the internet, I was much worse, I hadn't been looked after properly so I was very thin, my spine stuck up and people said my ribs looked like a picket fence, my hips stuck out too, I felt sad and couldn't be bothered to do much. I made Sarah really sad. I'm much better now but me and Sarah still have some work to do and need to get to know each other better so this blog has been set up to let people know how we are getting on.

History_First Visit


I first saw Sarah in September. I was having a big of a rough time, I was skinny and kept getting bitten by the other horses, they wouldn't let me get some hay to eat so I was really fed up. I was living at this not very nice place and didn't have a bed to come into at night, there wasn't much room in the field and there was no grass left. I don't like confrontation so I gave up trying to get some hay to eat. I was for sale because my owner didn't want me anymore, my owner had put a photo of me on the internet to let people know that I was for sale. Sarah came with Ellie no.2 to see what I was like, I didn't think she was very impressed with me.
About one week later Ellie no.2 came to see me with another woman (Ellie no.1), they asked my owner lots of questions then they went away.
I think it was another week when I got put in the trailer, I didn't know where I was going, when I got out at the other end I was put in a stable full of fresh clean straw, I was so excited that I couldn't help but have a big roll around in it then I saw that there was some hay in a big net hanging up and it was all for me, I tucked in. A few hours passed by when Sarah and Ellie no.2 arrived, I was happy to be warm and dry with plenty to eat and these people seemed to want to make me feel well again.
