This is becoming a reocccurring annoyance at my yard where fellow liveries will make 'jokey' jibes about my pony's weight or other people's however they seem to be blind at their own horse's issues.
My cob would happily gorge all day, there's just no slowing him down once the grass is up and he has been wearing a muzzle all day and then off in the evenings. A couple of dry days and new grass is blowing him up pretty quick so his sad face realised tonight that the muzzle is on, and on to stay! My little pony is in through the day with soaked hay, out with his muzzle for another couple of hours and then off. In a couple of days, he too will be out permanently in a muzzle.
Now go ahead and make a joke about the slightly bloated state of my cobs tummy as I bring him in and then work him for over 2 hours for him to look pretty good at the end. Don't make comments when your horse is the fattest in the herd, fat ripples all over her body, her poo is just liquid and you then bring her in and feed her hay. Why do these people not see their own horse's weight issues? They don't even consider a muzzle or staying in part of the day and exercise is classed as a 20 min trot where said fat pony doesn't even break a sweat. Rant over.
What makes these people blind or ignorant??!
