I will enquire about having it done, just to be on the safe side. She shows no other signs but i know sometimes the signs are not so obvious in one horse than another. I don't think the vet or myself were surprised by the cushings test. She was more surprised/ concerned that her adiponectin...

That sounds like a good idea but i'd have to move livery yards first. I'm already under fire for not feeding enough from the yard manager and i know the yard all think i am starving her. It has already been said that i'm cruel and my pony is like a welfare case. It is been a real uphill...
