Chequers2012 | Piebald | Gypsy Cob | Under 15.2hhDet har taget tid og anstrengelse at få Chequers til at være i god sundhed. Nyt om, at han skal tilhøre Loanie Pony Skemaet, vil håndteres snart.Historien så langt...Chequers kom til os efter den tragiske og for tidlig død hos sin ejer i januar 2020, sammen med Anna og Tinkerbelle. Fra starten passede han godt ind i rutinen, selvom hans overvægt betød, at han blev sat på en streng kost fra første dag.Chequers er lidt over 14 hænder høj, men vejer et imponerende 570 kg, da vi først mødte ham!

Right from the beginning he settled well to the routine despite the fact that his obesity meant that he was placed on a strict diet from day one.Chequers stands just over 14 hands high and yet weighed a whopping 570 kilos when we first met him! Obesity in horses is surprisingly common because well cared for ponies often have access to far more grass than they actually need.Being overweight is as serious a threat to health for horses and ponies as it is for humans and can lead to life threatening conditions.In 2026, with big thanks to our volunteer Halcyon, we successfully matched Chequers to a lovely couple with a pony called Louis, who was
