TikTok had been purchased in January as a companion pony, however, his extremely nervous and flighty behaviour made him quite dangerous and had led to his permanent confinement.
He had spent almost five months living alone without any freedom to run and play with his own kind.
Unable to catch him, or handle him in any way, his feet had grown very long and distorted, he was walking on his heels.
He had also outgrown the head-collar he was wearing and it was now embedded in the skin on his face causing small, infected wounds.
Thankfully for TikTok, his owner had recognised that something needed to be done as there was no question that he was suffering.
We returned the next day to collect him and it took almost forty minutes for TikTok to understand how to lead and eventually step out of the stable to freedom.
