Just want some opinions on my 6yo tb.
Do you think she's too ribby? I'm finding it hard to cover her ribs with any sort of fat or muscle. She is currently on box rest and not been worked in just over 2 weeks and seems to have lost a little bit of muscle around her ribs, with winter coming up how can I cover them? A lady on my yard has told me the only thing that will cover a tbs ribs is muscle so I should work her hard.
She's currently on good quality ad lib hayledge and feed 2x a day of chaff, barley plus, calm and condition, seaweed and just put her on vegetable oil.
She had just had a clear worm count so can't be that. Just seems to be lacking in condition in that area.
Thanks
