At my self, and them. I was put on bed rest because of life and death pregnecy. My husband started a job out of town so I had to rely on a friend to feed my horse for me. Becuse it was getting into the negs I put a blanket on her. If you tryed to slip your hand under it she would lay her ears back and move away, and she would kick and nip if you went for the buckle. I pulled it off to do a full groom and make sure it wasnt hurting her she pulled the blanket of the rack a few times so I put it back on her and she was happy. She likes having it. As the last two months of my pregnecy got worrse I stoped going down there. My pregney ended end of january, but because of internal damage I was still on bedrest. I feel fine now and weather has been warm so I went down and took the blankit off. She is skinny. You can see her ribs, and what little mussle she had on her back is gone. My friend was light feeding her I belive and at the same time the other "friend" that has been having fits about the skinny horse and bad shelters didnt bothre to let me know. I shouldnt be doing any work yet but I don't care. I pulled all my feed tums and placed them in diffrent spots in her pen then used a full bail filling all of them up. Gave her 1/2 scoop of beet pulp. I am mad at myself because I was to trusting and the horse paid the price.
