Battle of the Bulge..........

[Janette]

Having just come back from a holiday in the USA, my bulge battle is uppermost in my mind! Star looks pretty good and seems to be the only cob on the yard not on a diet.

NAF Slimline, its fantastic for boosting the metabolism, not particularly expensive and very palatable, has to be worth a go

I've found with D that the trick is to soak her hay and then give her loads so her metabolism stays nice and hi with all the roughage being pushed through it.

Believe it or not I can actually see her ribs at the moment when she's working

I own a fatty! Grazing muzzle on during the day (if she lets the stable hand catch her to put it on!), worked 6 days and week and yet still puts on weight! Still prefer it to having an under-weight horse though! much cheaper!

Argh, it just won't shift!
He was off for 3 weeks due to lameness, and was in a starvation paddock for half that time. And tonight, he was a bit lame again! Fortunately, it seems to be mainly grass belly: his bum and shoulders are still svelte. Disclaimer: I took the pic at an angle calculated to make him look especially round.

Oliver's lost just over 60 kilos in under 8 weeks.

Grazing muzzle, out 24/7 on very short restricted grazing paddock, more work, no feed.

Worked a treat. He's gone from this
