Apart from super shiny - how is my TB looking after living out 24/7?

[cob&onion]

Took my TBs rug off today to check condition (as i do every other day), her coat is beautiful, really super shiny i think she has lost a bit of weight since the summer but then again so have the fat cobs - part of winter. She is 6yrs and has been living out 24/7 rugged up in an under rug quilt combo and a MW turnout combo, having barley, chaff and sugar-beet, swear its the barley giving her the shine she has hay (almost ad-lib) and has been moved onto winter grazing with a fair bit of grass, she has been turned away since last april/may due to being diagnosed with spinal arthritis, hoping to bring her back into work in the spring (vets recommendation) and seeing how she gets on. Obviously she does lack top-line/muscle but due to the circumstances its very normal for a horse thats been out of work for so long
She won't stay in a stable, goes mental so am seeing how she gets on living out.

hang on... *pops on sunglasses*... oohhh yeaahh very nice. Nothing wrong with that 'orse.

Well I think the shine could be because she is healthy and being polished by the rugs she is wearing

Another vote for good!! She looks a bit tucked up? or is that just me?

Yeah she always looks a bit tucked up, she hasn't got the greatest conformation, she is slightly herring-gutted, that doesn't help

Gorgeous coat, and not tucked up! Very envious that you have the grazing to be out 24 hours. Mine is that same colour, I rode him in the daylight for the first time for ages and actuslly commented out loud that my horse is ginger!! Very shiny ginger though

Thank you and everyone else

Yep very ginger! its even more obvious when she has a clip - bright orange!!

Very pleased with the way shes looking considering shes a fairly poor-doer!

Well, we haven't really had any long periods of cold weather yet have we? But she's looking well prepared for it

Looks great - our full TB is a shaggy yeti compared to her
