2 issues here guys

one - Horse is 18, currently half clipped so out in a Medium Weight rug - currently gets fed Baileys Local and hi fi lite. Is in large field during the day and in smaller paddock at night with hay. Weighed him this weekend and can you believe it he had put weight on since last week !!! was not expecting that - currently note being ridden but plan to change that next weekend, I managed to pull a muscle in my neck so have been out of action for a month. I suppose I should not be to worried considering it is only the start of winter. The grass will not last for long so thinking just keep and eye and start riding again - will only be weekends as no light in school and work full time but better than nothing

Two - horse he is in with at night, is very playful which is lovely to see and think H is just as bad, although, how can I stop other horse biting his rugs and putting holes in them (albeit small holes currently - waiting for the ripping to start though!) ? Found a chunk of H tail in the paddock this monring - luckily he has got enough to loose !!

cheers (esxcuse typing - on sofa!)

Hmmm not sure about the biting rugs issue but for the weight issue how did you weigh him?? If it was a weigh tape they are pretty inaccurate and depending how horse is standing etc exactly where you put the tape they can fluctuate a bit! If you used a weigh bridge or similar then I wouldn't worry if he put a bit of weight on as long as he's not looking fat!
 
Its a weight tape. I weigh him every week so I can catch changes quickly ! I am hoping I had a twist in it !!! will weigh again next week so am not toooo worried
