Hi guys,

Just a bit of advice needed. I have a 14.2 welsh d mare she Is 26 years old and has always been a good doer! She has spondylitis of the spine so is pretty much retired. I do take her for short walks out and do lunge her most days. She has always been a really cresty mare and before it was easier to keep on top of her weight because she had regular exercise! She came through winter with a decent weight and we have her on a dust patch and she's in all day with a Haynet in a Haynet with a coue of sections! She is still huge and nothing is working to get the weight down!
She is older so obviously this makes a difference and the spinal problems don't help but is there anything else you can suggest??
Thanks in advance
