My boy used to hate doing anything on his own, he's gone through fences and almost come over stable doors just to avoid being on his own, made me a nervous wreck and hated seeing him so distressed :( I sought some advice from a very experienced horse woman who said the best thing I could do was...

Finn I don't mind you asking ☺️ Thanks Shysmum, as long as he seems happy and healthy that's all that matters �� with the grass coming through and full of sugar (which is worse when the grass is shorter) I don't want him to be overweight and then be a lami risk...

Thanks for that cinnamon toast �� I have found this guide to horses weight which, if accurate, puts my boy at the higher end of what his weight for his size should be. I do think that people expect to see cobs looking chunky but mines more of a middle weight who at 15 could start...

I'm very much a fretter too! I'm really conscious of his diet etc and try hard to keep him at a good weight so he doesn't balloon again! In the 4 years I've had him I've never once considered him to be underweight, quite the opposite! I worry most about laminitis so I don't want him carrying too...

He's 15 and yes he's always been that hairy, nothing to do with cushings or anything like that �� in fact he's usually hairier but due to a milder winter his coat didn't come through as thick and long as usual! He's got the hairiest backside of any horse I've ever known...

Thank you inthesticks he is a very hairy beast through the winter! I'm quite pleased with how he looks currently it puzzled and upset me why people thought he was underweight! Just need to work on building more muscle as we've both slacked off over winter!

Tried to upload photo but it's only showing the link might be because Im doing it from my phone! Thank you for all your responses it's much appreciated! I've looked at the BHS condition scoring before and I think he scores between a 3 and 4!

Weight taping is my only way of gauging his weight at the moment. From what you have all said he really cant/shouldn't be underweight at 464 kilos!

Does anyone know how to upload photos? I'll try and put one on!

Don't know how to post a picture my knowledge isn't that advanced lol is your boy a cob?

Hi everyone, just looking for some advice! I have a 14.1 cob who, when recently weight taped for worming, weighed in at 464 kilos. I believe this to be a good weight for his height but people on my yard have been saying that he is underweight! This has distressed me greatly as I believe he...

Thank you both :) horse is already really settled and chilled so reckon thats a good sign! Heres to a much happier and less challenging 2013 :D

I have moved to the new yard, thank god! But after the threatening behaviour I have encountered today she will not receive a single penny more out of me! Not to mention her threatening my family!! I have never encountered such a devious, nasty, egomeniacal person ever before! Any agreement we...

I see your point completely Welsh D, I should have maybe made it clearer why I am leaving. I did not get into the 'you owe me this and you didnt do that' with her as a) she scares me! and b) I was trying to keep it as amicable as possible. I did not expect her to expect me to pay for a whole...
