How are they looking? *piccy's*

[3Beasties]

Charlie has been off work for 8 weeks over the summer and has been back in light work for a week. Obviously he is lacking muscle/Topline but what do you think of his weight?

He was looking very elephant like at the start of the week but seems to have slimmed down a bit now.


Millie has been in work all summer and will start Cubbing shortly, do you think she is about the right weight?

What do you think?

They both look great!!

How is Charlie getting on now - is he better?

Millie looks super

can i steal her!!

charlies weight looks fine apart from the topline which you already know about

Thank you!

Charlie had his final (hopefully) blood test on Thursday so we are just waiting for the results to come back. He seems a lot brighter in himself, has been bouncing around the field like a 3 year old and spooking at every bird/twig/blade of grass out on hacks.

He has had a few Napping incidents which was worrying me but the Vet said that he is probably just taking the P!ss as he doesn't do it all the time, I've got to keep a diary of rides to see if we can work out what makes him nap just incase something is triggering it. If I can't get on top of it within 4 weeks I've got to try a Bute test.

It's so hard knowing weather they are in pain or just taking the P!ss though! He never used to be a nappy horse which makes it so much more difficult to work out

You don't think Millie is slightly to thin?

They both look fab. Millie def doesnt look too thin, she looks fit and healthy (wish i could say the same about myself lol)

Charlie does look like he is lacking topline and muscle a little but if he has been off id say he is looking great considering! But bloody hell he has high withers lol

 

[Donkeymad]

Spot-on weight wise for both of them - well done

It's taken all Summer to get her like that

the trouble now is trying to keep her that weight. I think over Winter I may have trouble keeping weight on her (for the first time ever!) as she will hopefully be hunting a lot.

Yes they are very high, We don't do Bareback

I think sometimes his high withers make his Topline look weaker! He's so difficult to fit a saddle to.

Both looking great

Millie certainly isn't too slim
