A Brumby called Neige

This page is for me to easily document my journey with a Kosciuszko brumby foal trapped in June 2023

Freshly gelded 💙

I have been selling guinea fowl keets to earn some $$ to geld Neige.. hoping to get it done next week🤞✂️

20/10/2023

Neige and his fat friend came in for a wash.
He is always nagging to play

Neige got a new buddy today.. he was so excited to have someone to play with. They are having the greatest time together

07/10/2023

"Would you like some help with that?"..
Neige is still very wary of my son, but when he was trying to empty the water trough he came from the other end of the paddock to see what was going on.
Hes a curious soul, he will come up to me and I can usually catch him.. I think its to do with all the nice scratches I give him!

29/09/2023

Neige had a brief wash down today. Slowly losing the foal down.
Hes in fantastic condition now, no spine or hips poking out.

06/09/2023

Neige is still learning the very important lesson called .. I am allowed to be caught!
He is a funny thing, he knows what's going on but I still have to convince him it's his ides and it's a good one. Bribery no longer works so it's mind games now..
Hes looking good though, enjoying a bit of a brush (even without being caught) once the tonnes of dandruff are gone and his summer coat is on hes going to look just gorgeous

29/08/2023

With the winter coat coming out, Neiges little forehead smudge is nearly invisible.
I've looked through hundreds of brumby photos to try and find him as a foal with no luck. Now I wonder if I was looking for too much white.. his socks should be obvious though...
Might have to start the search again...

26/08/2023

Today I made for Neige his very own halter and lead and rhythm beads that he can grow into.
Mane and Bridle Charms

Neige has so much wool! He's been getting sweaty and finally started to shed the winter coat. He's getting a bit shiny 🌟

22/08/2023

Having time out on the paddock is doing a lot for Neige. Being able to run around is building muscle back up and he's putting on weight. I think his front legs are looking significantly better.. the hinds not so much

16/08/2023

A little tantrum because I didn't open the gate out onto the grass 🙄

14/08/2023

Neige... is a word that is French for snow. It is pronounced kind of like 'nair-ge'.. I can't really do the g sound with letters, bit like a static sound!..
I had been holding onto this name for a while, thinking maybe i'll breed a grey foal and I can call it Neige.. This fellow came along very suddenly and unexpectadly but the name was his all along.
There are 2 parts to it.. first the name is already a name I knew as being from the beautiful creator of a French band I really love Neige of Alcest .
Secondly, this dear little foal is from my home.. the Snowy Mountains. He may be black as the night sky, but he has snow in his soul..

13/08/2023

Sun's out..

12/08/2023

Another wet day.. Neige had visitors and was so brave! He rather liked it I think, lots of handfulls of grass🌱🌱 happy pony. Come again please!!

12/08/2023

My posts aren't always showing up so hopefully this isn't a double up..
Neige had grass time again yesterday, by himself though. I really want him to excercise but he just stays close to the gate area where his yard is.

10/08/2023

I let Neige and the naughty pony onto the grass for couple of hours. Thought it a good time to get a video of him moving.. alas when he did finally trot off after pony, I didn't press the button properly and didn't realise till he came trotting back up to me and I went to switch it off 😂🤦‍♀️
I have never seen such an akward moving horse, he had legs going everywhere. I don't think he can actually canter either.

03/08/2023

Did the front trims today. Neige is quite happy to have me around, he will follow me round the yard and be near me, but he reminds me that we aren't quiet friends yet..
We'll get there.

01/08/2023

Little lesson on the front legs.
Being a flight animal, it's pretty scary for a pony to not have use of all 4 legs.
I'll get the fronts trimmed tomorrow hopefully.

31/07/2023

Grass is his favourite treat..🌾🌱

29/07/2023

Neige was laying down in the stable when I saw him this morning. It's really good to know he feels safe and comfortable to lie down.
He is liking the maxisoy/Lucerne mix and is ok with the vitamins now as long as they are mixed right in! But no matter what he manages to sift out all the trubreed pellets!!

28/07/2023

Pestene 👌

27/07/2023

Vet visit done.. determined there's no injury but likely nutritional and conformation.
Started Neige on Kohnke's Own cell grow... he's not quite sure what to make of the taste just yet!!

27/07/2023

Big day today, vet is coming this afternoon. I gave Neige a hoof trim on his hinds.. he was fantastic! Very impressed how well he is taking all my attentions which are all new experiences for him.
Fronts can wait another day.

Ewww lice

Nomnomnom

I asked for advice about Neige on a fantastic vet only page and had a reply .. not what I was hoping to hear. But time to get things started and see how we go.

24/07/2023

I am hoping that Neige will become really accepting of strangers asap as his legs really concern me.
I don't know if he has issues with conformation or just malnutrition.. I hope it may be more a nutritional problem. I am putting him on Kohnkes own cell grow which did wonders for my Lightning when he came to me so sick and starved.
I will likely need vets out when he's ready just to make sure. I've never seen such bad hind legs like his, perhaps muscle wastage has not helped.. I don't know but I have to fix it.

Today Neige and I discovered that grass is the best treat. I sat with him while he had some Lucerne chaff this morning and then gave him some grass.. he liked it so much he allowed me to pat his face 😍 I was able to pat his head, neck and along his back. He is so thin... My son came to see him this afternoon and although a bit wary, he allowed him to feed and pat him also. He's a dear little foal 💕 He is quite nervous to be approached, but will get curious and come over by himself. Little sneak came up behind me as I was scooping his mess up and booped me on the butt!!

I was really nervous about getting Neige off the float, the tailgate is rather steep and I was worried he might get scared and fall back. I need not have worried. He was fine 😃
