Knicky is the greatest pony ever! I say "is" because even though he has passed, he still remains in our hearts and memories, and no one or pony/horse can ever replace our beloved Knicky. NO ONE OR PONY/HORSE! *tear*
Oh...I just read that Knicky had passed. We were so sorry to hear that. I'm so happy that you had him for as long as you did and gave him the kind of life all ponies deserve. You are an inspiration.
Knicky is soooo cute! Wow! 30 years old! I don't know if Knicky is still around, given that he had/has Cushings, but I sure hope so. What a wonderful life you gave/give to that darling pony!
Our Knicky was just put to sleep. We are so saddened by this loss, but have so many amazing memories. He was with us his entire life, as was his dear mother who was 32. Her name was Popperette, so you can see the impact she made in my life, as I use her name as my "handle".
Thank you for the compliment. He is on Vintage Senior and Vita-E crumbles & Selinium. He gets lawn from 1 - 3 hours a day/ split in 2 sessions in the summer with increases in the fall and a flake of hay AM & PM with his grain & vities. His needs are really high because of his disease.
Hehe. Quite a difference, huh?!! He is a pretty pony and when he was young he was smashing! He still looks pretty good at almost 30! He was born here in '77. I have vivid memories of my 5 year old riding him as a five year old!
I am glad that you enjoyed it. He is indeed a ham! He was born here, is 29 and now has Cushings Disease and was going down hill, but after some feed adjustments, vitamins and a bit more careful grazing schedule (off pasture and onto short lawn duty) he had a remission and a good year. He now is going down hill again so I made this vid of good memories.
She has been gone 10 years, but he does miss her and his brother who is gone now too. Me too. He saw himself in a huge mirror that my husband had leaned up against the barn and his eyes bugged out and he got so excited and talked and knickered for several minutes, trying to find how to get to "her". It made me cry.
Ah, thanks. Better to have had them ..than never to have had their company to enjoy and love. I see that you have a lot of video on the horrid mistreatment that animals go through. Man's inhumanity to man and animal is just unbelievable.. boils down to selfishness and greed. My sister has been very very involved in trying to do something to make people aware of these horrors. I am sending your site to her. She just got a computer in her home and wants to use it for this reason.
Thank you for sending to your sister.Yes i work the dark side of the horse world and lobby my Government officials to end this horror for our horses.I also have a myspace page and many many friends who do the same.In my group alone who fight daily we have nearly 900 members.Email me personally here if you or her would like to talk further about it.Thank you again,
Ahhh! You are looking here at all my ponies. Knicky runs the show here. :) Such a good (not really) pony. We love him! And you do WONDERFUL in English. I am so impressed. I am German descent on my fathers side and I am ashmed I speak NO German. I am impressed with you!
