I'm wondering whether to scrap going or not.
The weeks have gone so fast! Harvey and Ellie were both a good weight, living mix of in and out but turnout every day for min of 10hrs rugged and being ridden 3-4 times a week schooling and hacking.
THEN
My little 3yr old son became very ill with his mcadd metabolic condition and we had to go to hospital in a emergency situation and he was on a glucose drip for 5days and in hospital for 6 days. We are back now and he is doing well but in that time I had to rely on friends with the horses so they were turned out and left in the rugs they had on and just fed hay. Ellie didn't get her Cushing supps as I had my key with me. The liveries really did help me out but both lost weight as the weather turned, Harvey stressed a bit without me and they didn't have bucket feeds or balancer.
Now they look a bit I pulled Harvey's mane before I went in but he still has a full winter coat but is moulting. He needs to be trimmed and plaited for his classes as showing him as a hunter pony. He needs a bit work as he has been out of work for a week too.
Ellie has lost weight and had outline of ribs showing. Also where her microchip was done there is still a shaved section and she still had a long winter coat too. She is chocolate coloured rather then grey too.
It's Only a few weeks till entries needs to be in too :/
