paddy was in a trekking center for seventeen years of his life.  when we saw him, we felt so sorry for him, he looked so tired, he was underweight, his feet and hooves were in a terrible condition, it took a long, long time to get him to the condition you see,  through all this he stayed the perfect gentleman, he loved everyone, no matter what their age, he was gentle and kind and after a long hard day at work he never failed to cheer you up, he would go out of his way to make you laugh.  sadly years of bad feeding and over work took its toll and paddy left us we all miss him terribly  he was a real angel
