SWEP received a call from a very distressed lady who needed to re home a 5 week old cob x colt she had acquired from a horse sale. She had not realised how much attention and time a foal of this age would need in order to hand rear. We agreed to take Ben into our care and he was signed over to us and bought to our yard. Ben had been cared for extremely well and was much loved. He did have weak pasterns, but this is not uncommon in young foals and should correct it self in time. We will continue to hand rear Ben and are confident he will grow into a big strong boy.
05/03/2012 : Ben has now been weaned and castrated, he continues to grow at a steady pace and his pasterns have corrected themselves. Ben has been halter broken and leads well, he was a little pushy but has been taught boundaries and has responded well. He is an affectionate fella and will soon be ready for re homing to a knowledgeable home who will give him the time and discipline he needs. We currently think he will make 14.2 - 15 hh, but he could grow bigger!!!
