Charlie's Transformation
Owned by Lainey Hynds
How did you come to own him?
I found him on a sight called Gumtree. I wasn't even looking to buy. I was just having a look at what was on there. But since he was only around the corner from me I thought I'd go and have a look at him. When I saw him I fell in love strait away. He was tiny he looked a little but like a donkey. He was a lot smaller than I expected and defiantly wasn't what I was expecting. I told the lady I'd take him if I could do a payment plan and she agreed I didn't even try to haggle her down as I knew he would eventually be worth every cent and was just happy at the fact I could pay him off. I paid $950 and paid it off in 3 instalments. I finally got to take him home
Did he have any health issues when you got him?
He was riddled in lice from top to bottom, skinny, and very wormy and bad feet
How was he when being handled?
He was great he has a very quiet nature.
What were the first things you did for him when you brought him home?
First of all I gave him a feed. I brushed him with some old brushes I had and cut all his main off because of the lice. When to the saddlery and brought him a wormer and the vet for a concentrated Delicing mix. When I got back I scrubbed him and shampoo him and them poped him the wormer.
