I was wormed this weekend, all of us horses had to come in to our beds at lunch time, we all knew something was up, I don't think those humans know that we're not daft. I saw the boxes as soon as I walked into the yard and though 'oh no, not that horrible stuff'. Sarah tied me up and squirted this gel stuff in my mouth and it was disgusting, I tried to avoid it with my tongue so I couldn't taste it but it didn't work. Sarah and Dave laughed at me, I don't know why, Sarah took a short video and has let me put it on here.
On Sunday morning I was still in my bed but some of the other horses had gone out, I didn't like it, I didn't think it was fair so I got in a bit of a panic and walked round in circles because I didn't know what to do with myself.
Some woman came to see me this week too, she said I had high withers and told Sarah to get a T4 whatever that is, maybe it's something nice to eat.
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.
About Toby
Toby is 13 years old, he's 15.3 hand high and a bright bay gelding with black socks. He used to be in a riding school in Lincoln where he lived from around 5 to 11 but his nearby friend had to be put to sleep so he developed separation anxiety. The school decided to sell him feeling that being privately owned would be more suitable for him. Toby was sold in September 2008 to a private buyer, what happened between then and October 2009 is not known, I was told by the seller that he had been put out on loan, he'd lost his grazing and was subsequently underweight, whether this is true I can't say.
