Hi all :) First of all, please please excuse the state that she is in, I have only just managed to more or less clean her up after her coming in from field looking like this:




I struggled with her weight a lot over the winter, she was getting big feeds twice a day, unlimited hay and hayledge, and was still struggling to keep weight on her. However, in summer, I always struggle to keep the weight off her!!!
But because I see her everyday, I can't judge whether she is ok weightwise or whether she is getting a bit porky.
Also, hows is her muscle looking, and which bits do we need to work on??









Thank you!
 
She looks great I saw the first picture and thought what unusual markings !!!
Then I worked out it was mud.
 
It may just be the angle, but the muscles in the near hind look a lot larger than the muscles in the off hind. Was she standing oddly?
 
I think she looks slightly on the heavy side too, not overly so but would keep an eye on her and not let it get any worse!
 
I think i'll up her exercise a little bit. She is hard to catch normally in summer, and recently she has been a superstar with that, so I don't want to spoil that by putting a grazing muzzle on her. And cannot be strip grazed as she jumps out or runs through the fence :rolleyes: So I will do more exercise with her :)
