With autumn well and truely on the way with october on our doorstep (ignore the lovely weather at the moment). Delicia is turned out 16 hours a day on a field thats looking rather bare now after the long summer. She held her weight well in the summer, but with an increased workload, and winter coming, being clipped etc and notoriously difficult to get her to maintain her weight im having to look into her feed regime now.
I have noticed lately she is looking lean and fit. She is redicously fit, but she seems to be holding minimal fat on her.
How is her weight looking?
the only bum shot i have (lol)
sorry, these are the only photos i have, ill try to get some unridden side on views tomorrow. Although i am thrilled at how fit she is, i do worry that with her slight nervous/excited disposition and sensitive gut she will drop weight too quickly.
She is fed currently per feed
2 x heaped scoops of alfalfa A oil
1 x scoop alfabeet
2x cups alfa balancer
2x scoops pink powder
1x scoop garlic
When she is in, she is fed ad lib hay, and gets hay in the field. But with the added canter work in her regime and increased competing, she has definetly dropped a little condition.
Thing is, she is very sensitive to starch and as such i try to keep her starch levels to a minimum, also, she is a natural fit mare, she doesnt need anything heating...lol
Thank you for your replies! I might be over reacting, i was thinking of introducing something like saracens re-leve into her diet....*ponders*
