Horse Of The Week - Saturn.

This is Saturn as a young colt, at 4 months old.[/caption] Meet Llanidan Saturn, a pure Welsh Section D. He is 6-years old, stands at 15.2hh, and is owned by Catherine Trimarco. Catherine explains: “I bought Saturn as a very wild colt, from the cob sales in Ruthin. He was only 4 months old, and weaned too young. Saturn was totally unhandled by the breeder, and I suspect weaned either on the day of the sale or the day before. Wild eyed, but very nicely put together I thought.” “We took Saturn to my sisters, where he was in a nice big stable. I couldn’t turn him out until he had received a tetanus jab and until I was sure I would be able to catch him! However it was soon apparent that he was scouring and needed some help. I bought a tub of BioPro as I’ve been using Feedmark supplements since the early 90’s and have found that they achieve exactly what they claim to.” [caption id="attachment_10691" align="alignright" width="300"] Saturn, as a 2-year-old.[/caption] “Saturn ate the BioPro in his feed with no palatability problems. The moment I took him off of the BioPro his droppings would become very loose again, which demonstrated to me how well it was supporting his gut flora which was probably very out of kilter. Clearly his little gut was struggling with the stress of being weaned, coupled with that of the sale ring; travelling; and being in a brand new environment. I feel that Saturn would have gone downhill very quickly, and would have become very dehydrated without BioPro.” “Saturn is currently not in work, but I have shown him in-hand where he went well and was placed. I hope to break him in myself this year, and would like to give Dressage a go as he moves so nicely.” [caption id="attachment_10711" align="alignleft" width="300"] Shown in-hand locally, as a 3-year-old.[/caption] A FREE tub of BioPro is on its way to Saturn for being our Horse Of The Week!
