Our Bob the cob has a permanent leg problem and we're getting it ultrasounded to find out exactly what's happening - but I suspect that it'll be a case of he'll only be good for the occasional potter...leading to inevitable difficult choices...it's so hard as we love him, and he's otherwise perfectly happy and healthy, but paying livery for a 16h cob with a gammy leg you can't ride more than in walk a couple of times a week (he enjoys his potters - I just worry Im speeding up/worsening his problem) is a bit potty isn't it? Or am I being mean? On the other hand he's such a lovely chap and is perfectly fine as a lawn ornament and would make a great field companion but how would I find him a place?!
