My favourite photo of Munchie in the summer |
We really have done everything we could to help him - we've had a long, hard road helping him as he had to return from a loan home where he developed very complicated metabolic problems - he's taught me so much, particularly as he never conformed to any standard textbook guidance - definitely the opposite of everything for Munch, thinking "outside the box" was a necessity for looking after him. At least we managed to get him a couple more years of time with us.
12 days ago he started showing structural problems and despite all of our best efforts to help him, unfortunately there was something wrong in his nerves/back that we couldn't fix - - we tried so hard for him because he was so determined to be here...but after having showed some improvement, yesterday his hind legs were no longer working for him - neither us nor any specialists could help him and he showed us it was his time to go. Thank you to everyone who has helped and supported us during this time. We love you Munchie - your spirit, your determination, your affection, your mindfulness with people, your teaching, your gentle playfulness with the young humans, and your love of food...you can run free now lovely boy.
Munchie trying to persuade people to let him help eat their ice-cream at summer haymaking - certainly off limits for ponies! |
Munchie out on excursion with Archie and Alfie the dog. Munchie up until very recently was coming for walks in the fields along with Alfie and Faye on a daily basis. |
Lovely pictures of a truly lovely pony. I am so sorry we have lost him.
