she was stressed so shes been lunged and ridden very calmly but expected to work her and this is a change as i couldnt do much with her over christmas

shes been on calm and condition and i started soaking her hay.

its only been about 3 or 4 weeks between the photos

oh and lots of cuddles

Why do you soak her hay if you're wanting to put condition on? Haven't seen your previous posts.

she was breathing badly and i resisted giving her hayledge as she gets fired up but when i did try giving her some as i know she needed weight on she didnt eat it. so she had to have hay but it needed to have nothing that could agrivate her breathing. i only dampened it

I hope our skinny mare looks as good soon, just put her on micronised linseed to try and put a bit weight on, although her age and past are against her, 18yrs old and an ex broodmare, but will keep trying

mines 16 and she turned around. the grass helped alot to as i have moved her home and theres plenty. i would really recommend calm and condition. however everbody said to me if calm and condition didnt help to use linseed
