Oh Sh**

[kateknights]

Scenario, my horse lives on fresh air so is in a starvation paddock and every day i move the electric fence a foot to give her an hour or so good grass, so today i think oh i'll let her in the rest of the paddock(roughly 1.5 acres) with a grazing muzzle on, she has worn it before no probs.
Anyhoo, i have just been over to put her in skinny paddock for the night and there's the grazing muzzle in the middle of the paddock, and an Irish cob standing there looking at me as if to say, look at me mum, my stomach is huge!
It's amazing ow big it is, she has slimmed down so well since i have been managing my grass better. I blame the kids, because if they weren't off school i would have been around today pottering at home and would have noticed, insted of taking them out!

Please reassure me that she just has a grass belly and it will dissapear!!!

Sure it is just a grass belly - get her back on the bare paddock!

My little shetland is a bugger for getting his off! Don't worry, she will look back to normal in a couple of days! Bad Bad horsey!

Yes same here, Our pony escapes her paddock when its time to charge the battery back up and gets ginormous over night!!

You might need to give her a zap of Coligone to protect her from a gassy colic attack brought on by the unaccustomed lush grazing. I stupidly put my fat Section D onto lush grazing and within 3 days he was in the middle of a scary gassy colic attack. Buscopan injection and Coligone for 3 days sorted him out.
