So, in a moment of weakness, I decided that ....

..... what I needed in my life was a 12'2" hairy Dartmoor pony who rides (but obviously not me - I mean I'd squash the poor beast) and drives.

So reader, I brought it home, and it is a sweet little thing, but because of a story too long and predictable to repeat, it is 1) covered in lice 2) full of worms and 3) is very, very gaunt underneath all the hair with protruding hip bones.

I've deloused, and wormed, but wondered if anyone had any words of wisdom on returning it to decent condition without turning it into a barrel on stubby legs.

Hi itsthawooluff, sorry not to have got back to you about the trap. I'll willingly send you photos, but can't get to it for a couple of weeks as it's in the garage of a house that we currently rent out. I'm due to go and do an inspection in Jan so will take my camera then. I'm sure it's going to be hideously dusty and cobwebby but it's hopefully salvageable.
