and just so you know Dave a horse is meaured from hoof to the withers or the base of the neck where its backs start - what we humans call shoulders - and if my memory serves me correct 'a hand' height equates to 4 inches in old money - so if he is 10 hands high he is 40 inches to the shoulder - so he is big enough to carry a small person or pull a small sulky but small enough to take upstairs and have as a pet or share your bed with as long as he is not a restless type of sleeper :lol: How good is that - multi purpose.

I may not always succeed in making a difference, but I will go to my grave knowing I at least tried.

Oh Marty I am so sorry to hear that, Poor Jess must be shattered - but that is part and parcel of owning animals, they rely on us to do the right thing for them and not let them suffer, Oh that we could be so kind and caring to our human friends when their time comes.

Give Jess a cuddle - he is not too big. :(

Cheers

Maureen
