Due to work commitments I haven't been up to the yard for almost a week (YO aware, and my horse are on full livery, and I've had friends riding, so ponies are not neglected)
However after not seeing Tarting for a little while, when I went up last night I was really shocked, over the past week she seems to have ballooned. I taped her and she is currently 475kg, and she really should be closer to 400kg!
The thing is, she gets no food apart from hay 2x per day and is currently on an overgrazed paddock which is too short for a muzzle.
She is ridden 6/7 days, which includes 2 x1 hour private dressage lessons and 1x jumping lesson where she works very hard, 2 schooling sessions for 30-45 mins and 1 fast-ish hack for 1-2 hours.
Help!
