Time to get to work on those feet.
Zeke was beautifully behaved and a thorough gentleman, despite it being very painful for him to weight-bear on three legs.

A very uncomfortable little man.

What a happy little pony Zeke is tonight! Great trim today, which really alleviated so much pain and discomfort for the sweet boy. Still some way to go, but a good step in the right direction, and he's walking like a different horse :)
Zeke has revealed himself to be a LOVELY natured little man, even despite the pain he's been enduring. He is very easy-going, and gets along beautifully with every other horse. He is a positive little character who is quite affectionate, and is a real pleasure in every way. He had a major scrub-up the other day, which he handled really well, (after the initial surprise and puzzlement at what was going on!).
At the moment Zeke is paddocked with Joy, as they have similar dietary requirements, and they are very happy together :)

Introductions for Zeke and Whisky.

We had a really windy day here yesterday. I pulled this sheet of plastic out of the fence. No idea where it had blown from, but I tied it to the hitching rail and thought I'd leave it there for a couple of days looking scary, flapping and making noise... a 'desensitisation' exercise for the horses.. Well, one little pony thought it was a new toy and had nooo idea that he was meant to be spooked by it!

Well this day couldn't come soon enough for little Zekey. His mouth was in a pretty bad way, and Jude attended with Esther in order that little man could be sedated. Thanks so much guys for removing the stress and pain of a very uncomfortable mouth for Zeke. Zeke does have a genetic irregularity in the make up of his teeth, but nothing that regular 6 monthly check-ups won't keep under control.

Zeke had a lovely session today of Equine Touch Bodywork, courtesy of Quest friend and supporter, Janis Hobbs.
Zeke was clearly moving far more freely after the treatment, and no doubt whatsoever that he thoroughly enjoyed himself!

Trim number three for Zekey today, and he has come a very long way :)
Congratulations are in order for little man, as he has been offered a wonderful home! We're extremely happy with this match, and just know that Zeke will be in good hands.
Zeke will be leaving for his adoptive home after Christmas, where he will be greeted by his new mum, equine friends, and also a very special little girl who is looking forward to making good friends with him. We have told Zekey all about you Gracie, and he is looking forward to some brushing and some cuddles.
Gracie is a big animal lover, and we would like to thank her publicly for donating some of her pocket money towards some hay for our horses in care. So thoughtful of you Gracie, and a big big help indeed :)
I will take a clip of Zekey asap, which you will be able to compare to the one I have posted at the beginning of his diary page here. He surely is a much more comfortable boy.

Goodbye Zekey, and good luck!

Here is a clip we put together for Zeke's adoptive mum which covers his journey so far. It includes a very happy clip that Zeke's adoptive mum recently sent to us of the little man striding out in comfort. Thank you so much to Lisa for keeping us up to date with progress news and photos of the little man.
Just a tip for those without super-speedy net connections, if you let the clip start to play, then pause it for a little while before you click again to play, it will give the clip time to load for you so that you aren't driven mad by it constantly stopping and starting :)
