Hi noblehouse, thanks for your reply. Actually he was a ...--- to ride. He had bilateral bone spavins and even though the vet wanted me to ride him to help them fuse, Seth had other ideas!!! He could nap for england, and with a huge head and 73/4 inch myler bit, he was sometimes a little strong He had a lovely 'kevin the teenager' type temperament though and i loved him to bits He was a very large Thellwell Pony!!!

Hi,thanks for your kind comments everyone Please note though that he is NOT dead (thank goodness ), but has gone to live in the visitor centre of Horseworld in Bristol,UK. He splits his time between the field, with his Shire buddies, and a massive barn type, half indoor/half outdoor stable in the visitor block. I went to see him on their open day in May,and he looked great (and quite a lot bigger than I remembered.Funny thing memory!)

I'm So glad Seth is alive The horses out back in the pasture here go to another pasture and stable for the winter. I miss them terribly when they go the pasture is sooo empty then. Before the horses came, about 3 years ago we had cows in the pasture that I got attached to. I certainly know what it's like not to have them around anymore.......it's very sad
