Overweight?? - my turn please

[Tia]

Is this little grey 12.2hh pony overweight in your opinion?

Overweight now?

 

[meandmyself]

Looks pretty well covered, but not fat IMO.

 

[S_N]

First piccie not at all, second piccie - is that recent? Is she preggers in the pic? If so, then IMO she looks fab - esp. going into a Canadian winter.

 

[Tia]

Oh bottom!! You got my little joke!

Both piccies are taken here in Canada. First one is last winter and second one is her 5 and a half months pregnant.....taken just a couple of days ago, LOL!!!

 

[Skhosu]

Is that the same pony?
Now, bearing in mind I am not in any way an expert and taking it at face value:
1, no, although certainly well covered I wouldn't say overweight. A very cute picture too!
2:looks cresty perhaps? Other than that looks 'soft' (good old pony club term!!)
But looks more unfit than overweight.

 

[clipertyplop]

first pic looks ideal, second pic looks fat possably future lamanitic case imo

 

[Tia]

First picture she weighed 200 kgs which I've always thought was way too light for her frame.

Second picture, she's a very preggie little girl and is definitely chilled, LOL!!

 

[Tia]

LMAO!! Oops been down that route - not going there again.

 

[Skhosu]

hmph... 200Kg does seem rather light, but she looks gorgeous!!
Still can't quite believe its the same pony!

 

[Weezy]

Now I KNOW she is preg in the second, however even if not I wouldnt say she was a prime candidate for Lami!

 

[kildalton]

She looks so content now.

 

[Tia]

I know - she looks REALLY different to me at the moment. I've owned her for just under 10 years and this is the first time she has been allowed to grow a winter coat and become all scruffy. She is usually clipped over the winter and kept smart looking. Bless her - she does just look like the little fat scraggy pony doesn't she, LOL!!

 

[Tia]

Me neither.

 

[Tia]

She really is! She is just so calm and doesn't buzz around like she normally does. She just takes her time about things now and nothing much worries her.

God I love this pony - see I'm a real suck for little grey ponies.

 

[S_N]

OOpppppsss sorry!!! I can't believe the difference in her colour

Really excited about her baby!!!

 

[Tia]

Now this doesn't look like the same pony..........but it is!

[Tia]

And so is this the same pony, LOL!!

 

[tashyisaudrey]

aww thats a sweet pic

 

[Tia]

I think so too.....but then I am extremely biased.

 

[Parkranger]

OMG you have a chameleon pony! She looks great though! x

 

[Go4Broke]

LOL not over weight just preggo! If ya like greys look on dream horse for NM. In Portales there is a grey mare Jalapino something and the contact name is Bob and Steff. Nice mare, have checked her our. Around 6 yo and very green.

 

[lilym]

tiiiiiaaaaa.........she's pregnant, and looks wonderful for it!!!! you should see my friends sec a broodmares...i'll try and get some piccies, incidentley they have never had lammi, apart from hay in winter they are left as nature intended!

 

[sleepingdragon10]

God no!!
You should see SWUO up close...she looks like she's about to drop a foal anytime soon

Tia she looks fine,honestly

 

[SouthWestWhippet]

ahhhhh, she is so sweet.

That second picture she has this real 'I'm special cos I'm pregnant' look in her eyes. My mum's dog gets that same look - she knows she is due some pampering when she is expecting!

Bless her. I love little ponies.

Hi Tia!

First piccie I thought spot on, second one I thought ... well if going into a tough winter OK... then I remembered the piccy in the gallery? If she wasn't looking tubby I'd be very worried!

Generally, for a domesticated Welshie/ British Native, the top piccy is what I would be more than very happy with.

Many don't understand that natives SHOULD be tubby in the summer, to hit winter (on a moor or mountainside) in good nick. Come the spring grass they should be lean as whippets and ready for their metabolism to change gear and cope with the spring flush. It is how natives have evolved. We mess that up by carrying on feeding them all year round and it really messes up their winter metabolic state.

 

[miamibear]

In my opinion, perfect in picture 1 and overweight in picture 2!

[MillionDollar]

No not at all overweight- shes looks very content, a proud mum to be.

 

[henryhorn]

Certainly not, she looks in foal in the second pic but perfectly healthy to me. In fact in perfect condition!
