This week my full loan mare will be moving to my house which is very exciting, hopefully the owner will be sorting out a home for the companion pony as well. I have ended up taking on full care of the companion pony who is a lively 21yr old welsh sec a mare, she has had laminitis in the past and so I have tried really hard to keep her healthy. She is on restricted grazing with a small handful of chaff and half a slice of hay In the evenings. About five days a week I lunge her in walk, trot and canter for 15-20 minutes. She gets quite sweaty working so has a blanket clip and doesn't wear any rugs currently. The problem I have had is that despite being able to just see her ribs her crest is huge and lumpy, you can wobble it from side to side and its slightly squishy. She doesn't have fat deposits anywhere else but its such an eyesore and I don't really know how I can get rid of it, I probably wont be able to see/work her after this week and I just hope her loan home keeps her in regular work. But I would just like to see what other horsey people think about this?
