Gem came home 5.5 weeks ago and i've been trying to improve her condition. The vet suggested equi jewel which seems to have done the trick. Do you think i should try and put more on her or keep her as she is? I've had differing opinions so not sure. I can easily feel her ribs but can't really see them unless she bends round so my inclination is to maintain her weight.

What do you all think?

Thanks
 
i think it would depend on how much she blows up on the spring grass, but looking at the pics of her i would just try and maintain the weight she has ready to put a bit on with the new grass.
 
Personally i wouldn't want to put anymore weight on her now in preperation for spring/summer grass.
Obviously it depends on your grazing & whether she is a good doer or not, we have great summer grazing & mine are very good doers so for me i wouldn't want any more weight on.

Great job by the way :)
 
She has always been hard to keep on the slim side here (had her 16 years) so i'm inclined not to let her get to big before the spring too.
