Those all look like the same weight to me. Except for the really tall one at the end who looks heavier, and the one next to her who looks lighter but I would put the others as around the same weight.

I wouldn't be muzzling a horse that is the weight of the second photograph unless they had metabolic issues. Muzzles are a last resort IMO. Essential for some horses but best avoided when they really aren't needed as in the case of your horse, OP.

I much prefer the second picture. However, I would want to check his saddle because it looks like he may be getting some muscle wasting behind his withers and either side of his spine that isn't there in the top picture. It maybe a trick of the light though.

Thanks, everyone. I'm definitely going to leave them alone.

I think they are tree bumble bees. This is what they look like:

No they are round and fluffy so a type of bumble bee. I'll try to find a picture online and post it here.

Ha I might do that!

She does when you are blowing it up, but once she has it, she's good to go.

Yowch!

Yes, she does "keepy uppies". But her favourite thing is to bat it backwards and forwards to a person, but that's difficult to do whilst filming her!

One of my yard dogs really loves a balloon. Though the horses aren't impressed, and nor is her sister, Molly! (Molly is much more sensible and doesn't play very often). Here she is playing with it safely inside the house. Feel free to share! https://youtu.be/MjAUpsK0snE

Thanks. I think beekeepers will only move honeybees, unless I'm mistaken. The nest could only be reached by removing the lining of the stables.

Thank you! I do love them and would never kill them. I'll just have to reassure my liveries that they will not harm them or their horses. :)

No, I don't like the video either. Couldn't watch it until the end. Horses in too deep water to be dosing. Children are in danger doing such a stunt. As a parent, I wouldn't allow it, let alone film it.

I would say a large cob over 15.2 hands would be the most suitable. Taller horses are often not so strong as shorter boned stocky types.
