Our pony is very cresty, when we got her it was very bad- managed to get it down well in May/June on very restricted grazing, she's still on restricted grazing bit it's gradually coming back, as is her tummy fat! I've read that magnesium can help with fat pads and cresty necks. Im also upping...

No offence taken!! I've asked her loads of times if she wants to carry on, I'm really not a pushy parent- I find it all quite stressful to be honest! But she's adamant she wants to continue and loves her pony to death. She loves hacking so she's just going to do that for a while then when she's...
