This isnt really a CR thread so apologies in advance but I thought I would get the best advice in here.
My mare is 14 and used to compete at elementary level dressage. She damaged her sacroiliac just over 2 years ago and so had 2 years off to be a field pony and in that time had a foal. She came back into work at the beginning of september and will work 3 days and have a day off. She is still turned out with foalie during the day and stabled seperately at night.
She used to be such a hot head and always had more than enough energy but since she has come back into work she is a complete donkey. She has just started hacking out and is being a saint, she never used to hack as she was dangerous, and she is a plod in the school. Its just not like her.
I know that she isnt as fit as I would like but she just seems to have no energy, hence she only does 3 days on the trot. She is fed Hi-fi and staypower museli with oil and biotin twice a day. I have been and bought some alpha beet today to try to perk her up but im a bit reluctant to up her museli.
The other thing I thought about was giving her some propel plus. It is possible that foalie is taking all her energy and draining her.
I suppose I just needed to write this down but any advice would be gratefully recieved. I want my hot head back!
