Got Ernie in this afternoon and rode him - only 20 mins or so as the school could double up as a fishery. Turned him back out then brought him in for the evening about an hour later.

I was chatting to my friend on the yard and she said is he ok? He was stood there looking like he was nodding off to the honest but his breathing was a bit quick quick slow. He's not sweaty, doesn't mind me feeling his tummy or haunches. He's over weight but we're working on that.

Call me a loony bin but I'd hate to go tomorrow morning and find him dead or very very poorly. Am I just being silly.... for all I know he does it all the time we've just not noticed it before. He's not been eating his hay but I figured that's cos he's stuffing his face with grass and is a bit on the fussy side.
 
I would keep a close eye on him Heavy breathing could be a symptom of stress or pain. This combined with not eating his hay could indicate a bit of a sore tum.

Been back up - he's trying to eat my coat again now so seems completely normal. It's weird....I'm a loony bin. Thanks for all your support though.
