How's she looking since I bought her? (Also in PG)

Just wanting your opinions really!

This is Genie when I bought her 10 months ago:

And more recently...

Since I bought her I think she's muscled up a lot, and 'chunked' a bit. She's also grown 2 inches, from 14.2hh to 15hh now!

All input including constructive criticism welcome, but please be gentle as I'm not feeling well today!!!

Thank you!

She has definitely toned up! She looks like a real stamp of her type. You have done really well! Keep up the good work and I hope you feel better soon!

 

[Slinkyunicorn]

as you say she has definately grown and filled out - looks really well and lovely and shiny!!

But then again I do like a nice coblet......

I don't know what showing classes you do but to my untrained and inexperienced showing eye, she looks like she has gone from light weight to medium weight. Bigger, musclier (sp) and just plain gorgeous. Well done.

Thank you everyone!

My secret (other than pure luck!) is having an impossibly deep school which gets her fit more quickly (although I wish it wasn't quite so deep!), and careful feeding. In the winter she has 2 handfuls of Happy Hoof, 1/4 scoop of soaked SpeediBeet, and a handful of pony nuts in her treat ball. She also gets 2 haynets of haylage a night.

In the summer she lives out (although in during the day to 'deflate'!), and gets a grand total of one handful of Happy Hoof.

Supplement wise she gets biotin, garlic and a general Vit&Min supplement.

I'm so pleased with how she's come on these last 10 months, but of course I'm prone to be biased! Hence the wanting other opinions!

She looks terrible and the fact that you keep winning showing classes proves it!!! LOL in fact you should parcel her up and send her my way just so you dont have to be seen in public with her

She looks fab and you should be very proud look forward to seeing you out and about. Are you going to the SW equestrian show next weekend?

 

[amycov]

She looks FAB! Lots more muscle! I love her.

 

[YorksG]

You look very suited to each other, what a nice mare

bay_beasty - Thanks! We do M&M classes and Cob classes.

SallyEllis - No chance! This coming weekend we're doing the Driving Club show (in the ridden classes). Did the last SWE one and came 3rd in the cob, qualifying for Royal London. She's not registered so we can't do the M&M there

YorksG - Thank you! We're two chunkers together hehe!
