I've got a 4 year old TB mare who was beautifully put together when I bought her in November last year but I sent her away to be broken over the winter and she came back looking rather poor. As a result she is now not in work while she fattens up again but I'm worried because since I got her back from my old trainer 6 weeks ago, she has had a growth spurt which has left her with her quarters about an inch higher than her withers and at the moment there is no sign of her levelling up. Could this uneven growth be due to her weight loss over the winter? Is there any possibility that she is going to level up or am I going to be stuck with a very down hill horse? At the moment she looks quite odd and out of proportion but she seems to have been stuck like this for about the past 4 weeks. She was a late foal so she won't be a 'proper' 4 year old until June.
Any suggestions will be appreciated as if she levels up she will be a fantastic competition prospect!
