Bobby and Cobby:
BOBBY AND COBBY were relinquished 13th August 2005, when their owner was admitted to St. John's Hospital, Sligo on a permanent basis.
Both ponies were in good condition and had nice natures. They both had worm bellies, which were treated on arrival. Their hooves needed trimming too but they were not abused.
Bobby (black) was very aged and Cobby (black with some white) was younger. Bobby was the more dominant of the two.
They were placed in a foster home but were returned in June 2006. Bobby was unable to eat and was losing weight rapidly.
Subsequently he had five teeth removed by equine dentist Lisa Molloy with vet Evi Stabler attending and improved again rapidly.

They were both lice infested and Cobby was too fat and potentially laminitic.
