Those who remember Magic's ordeal of being stolen, its been 3 months since we got him back.. the very insecure and upset little pony.
He's settled back down almost completely now and certainly much more confident.

He'll stand tied up by himself, happy to be caught, brushed and handled by adults and now children alike. Go out for walks and be very fresh and lively with the rearing and bucking... lol

He is generally much calmer and happier and certainly much more confident.. he can still be a little jumpy but getting there, and still a bit funny to have his front feet trimmed but again that will get there..

He was perfect to clip, bath and his back seems fine now.

And where as when we picked him up we had a few problems getting him in the trailer and then after a few weeks when i tried with the trailer again he panicked so we just left him, yesterday we tried him in the trailer thinking i'd have to get him us to it again, after a few times of going in and out, he walked stright up, tied up, partitions shut and stood looking at me as if to say 'whats the big deal?'

So mentally he seems to have recovered.. physically we are still getting there..

Hopefully he will be able to do a couple of outting with locket this year... i really did think he wouldn't be part of the therapy ponies team again if we couldn't get him to settle and trust people and children in general again but he is certainly coming on now...



RIP Halo - 1998 - 2006. Miss you always.

My little horrors darlings.

Thats great news Jodie, you must be so pleased that he's getting back to 'normal' and well done for being so patient with him.
