Hey all!
So a few of you would have seen my new acquisition - a ridiculously obese 14hh pony.
When he first arrived, the weight tape measured him at a ginormous 700kg! 1 week on and he's now measuring 660kg and the visual change is phenomenal!
I am so over the moon - this pony would have been seriously close to foundering had I not got him when I did. He's now looking healthier (though still chubby) and he feels much healthier. He even goes for trots and canters around the paddock when before he'd just stand there and look sorry for himself.
He's been on a strict diet and exercise regime and it's working beautifully!
I'm adding a few photos to show the wonderful different in just a week!
(Also some adorable photos of him just 'cause!)
(The photo of him next to the buckskin was taken today also.)
