The Fatty Horse Update 3 Weeks On, Opinions Please :)

[lottiepony]

So we managed to go the full 3 weeks box rest, it was no easy task for either of us (me getting stressed due to seeing her so stressed) but we made it and on Thursday she had her 1st hour out in the field (muzzled) was lovely to see her have a bit of a leg stretch and a bit of a strop when she discovered she couldn't remove the muzzle. We've followed the vets diet to the letter and below are the before and after photos so what do you guys think so far? To look at her in the flesh she has changed shape, she no longer has that 'thick set' look about her. (photos on top are from 16.05.2013, below taken yesterday 10.06.2013)

I got her the Greenguard muzzle and we managed till sunday until I noticed a rub on her chin, so solved that with some tape and vaseline which appears to be doing the trick.

And a couple of photos of her first time out, beautiful sunny morning at 6am.

Fingers crossed if we keep progressing forwards she'll be looking even better in another 3 weeks

Love the aerial shot!!
Well done for getting through the box rest, can be a nightmare.
Hard to tell from pics but the gutter above her tail definatly looks less and the fat pads around there seem to have reduced too.
Its still early days though, has taken me the best part of a year to get my cob down to size and we've still got a bit to go.

He's gone from this:

To this, in a year
