Every horse I've liveried with seems to have three or four times more than Kels gets, and I have to keep having a word with myself, as she's just-ever-so-slightly porky, and has been since I got her, but I still feel like I'm starving her.
She's been out of work for a year, and was well covered when I got her last January, and has hardly dropped a pound since.
Since I've brought her in at night she gets a couple of haynets (filled very loosely, not stuffed as she'd empty one full one in half an hour) and about a third of the smallest size bendy bucket with a mix of Happy Hoof and Pasture Mix (she can only have Pasture Mix in winter cos she goes loopy on it the rest of the year) with a chopped apple or a couple of carrots for breakfast and tea. There's not a lot of grass left in their field now, so grazing's minimal.
I've just got to stop looking sideways into everyone else's buckets and worrying Kel's isn't getting enough to eat and concentrate on giving her a prod in the ribs now and then to assess her condition!
