Is he loosing weight or am I kidding myself??

[Helen010382]

Frodo has always been on the large side and had lami two years ago

This was him last year,

And this was him last night,

I can see a difference but I just wondered if anybody else can?

Sorry pictures aren't of him in the same position - getting Frodo to stand still is hard enough!

I also think he's lost weight . As you say a bit difficult to tell from the photos , but as you say shetlands are pretty difficult to get to stand still :grin :

 

[RussianGirl]

To me. he does look like he's lost weight, I think he's dead cute, you should give me him =]

Wow that is an amazing name for a little horse!! Can I have him as a companion for my Sunny??

 

[Helen010382]

Thanks everyone - just needed some reassurance as it is a very slow process!!

He is a cutey but don't let the cute looks fool you - he is a little devil!! He is the smallest I have (31") but has the biggest personality!!

Cute pony and cool name! Yes i think he's lost weight too.

 

[Chumsmum]

Yes, he has lost weight - well done!

How have you done it? I'm struggling with my two minis, they are on restricted grazing and look a bit better but it's slow progress..

 

[Helen010382]

Restricted grazing - also known as bare paddock (and I mean bare!) and last years hay and NO FOOD or TREATS!!! - my sister was always giving him carrots or polos - they were soon stopped and made a big difference.

Lots of exercise - in hand walking and long reining. Lots of mad sessions of chasing and playing with him in the field (when ground is soft enough for his little feet) - you look at idiot doing this but he loves to play! He will chase the dog for hours too!.
