One of those feel good stories :) Meet Starvin' Marvin, a hungry little trotting stalion who we rescued in may :) I'm too happy with him not to share lol. He now has two solid meals a day and two less testicles. I think its a price he didn't mind paying though!



By October....

Thanks all :) He's a grand quiet lad! My little sis rides him around the place every so often but i've started hunting him the last few weeks. Hard to believe he came from an industrial estate when you see him banking a ditch! |

I was having a game of chicken with gary the photographer! lol. He's only a midget! Measured 14.3 when he came but he might have hit 15 now. He's only 4 or 5 y/o I think. He's got that typical horrible trotter build too lol. I'm quite tall on him but he doesn't seem to have any issues jumping ditches with my fat ass on board lol.
We planned on feeding him up and selling him straight away but after I hunted him the first time I said to hell with that, he's staying for the season anyways!!! |

Well he's gorgeous and I wouldn't part with him for all the money in the world if he was mine and maybe at the end of the season you might move over to working hunter.
