The only really noticable thing I can see is her lack of top line on her neck now. But if theyve not been lunging her, that would happen. I dont blame you for being p1ssed off at all.
Oooh I meant to add , this how she was groomed when they new I was coming to see her , she had also been in for 2 days previously so no reason for the mud etc. (surely you would make an effort if owners were coming to see her ?) and i think she looks sad

He looks like she's lost some topline - were they working her? Had you specified what to feed her? Poor girl
ETS: changed to 'her' - sorry!

We were paying for her to be lunged , obviously she wasn't , also we did specify what she was meant to be fed , Does she look like she was on equilibra 500 , build up , alfa oil and sugar beet ?
Don't know history but who is riding him as he has lost topline , what are they feeding, what were you feeding before.Are you still riding him.Has he been wormed etc.
I'd be annoyed if my horse was on full livery and was muddy after 2 days inside when I visited. It really annoys me when people don't take pride in their work!
Feeding exactly the same as before .
Regularly wormed was wormed the day she moved onto full liv (8 weeks ago)
Not currently being ridden but 'supposed to have been lunged'
Was being lunged 3 times a week before
Wish you lived near me ,exercising our coloured enough is a problem as doing two each day takes a long time with work as well.I used to live in Hamble and Mum still does shame I am miles away now!Reply to djmissj
Maybe she was not having enough hay or not as good quality as yours, shame she has lost muscle but with spring round the corner I hope she picks up quickly.
oh thats a shame!! I am desperate to be around horses again!! As you can imagine after working with them for 7 years and then stopping is like having my arm cut off!!
She's certainly lost some topline, the only thing I would say is that she might well have been lunged, it just depends on what you call 'lunging'. Judging by some people on my yard, it consists of the horse ambling round on the end of a line pretty much doing as they please for 10 mins
if you said she was on all the feed and in work (fit for eventing) i would say she needs to lay a bit more muscle, but am quite shocked that shes not in work and fed(?) what you say she is meant to be on!! unless she has a high worm burden or summut else goin on, there is no way she is fed what they say they are feeding or at the correct amount!!!
sorry to digress slightly but she is the TOTAL twin of the horse ive just sold, markings on her face and all!!!! wish i could do pics so you could see!!!
