Is She Lookin Better???

she dosent look bad at all to me, except that divet in her rump. connemara ponies are usually built like little tbs, or the ones ive seen are. so they are leaner naturally. Your setup isnt idea, since theyre just at your house, but i really dont see anything wrong. what did AC say when they were out?

If you just look at her first picture alone, she looks like nothing compared to some horses I have seen.

When I compare the before and after, she has really improved quite abit. Well done.

I still don't understand why the animal control are so concerned about her. They should rather be rattling other owners who have horses that look like a bunch of twigs stuck together....

no its my neighbor who keeps calling. because my pastures are muddy. and have poop in them, hey i mean horses poop every day. im not out there chasing them with a pitch fork screaming hurry up and poop!!! AC siad they look good for their age. they actully thought she was 5-10

Wow. Okay, so it's not the animal control...Why don't you just ask your neighbors to mind their own business! LOL

Try to explain to your neighbors, and maybe they might understand.

we have talked to him. he was pretty wasated and he said he just wants us to take better care of them. he has a bowling ball around one of his goats necks so i called on him. if he comes over im going to tell him i'll mind my business if he minds his business. no i dont think animal control would come back out if they call again

I wouldnt start a match between your neighbors with the AC. They have better things to do than deal with neighbor drama when both parties animals seem fine.

Body Condition Scoring for Your Horse

That is the body condition scoring someone mentioned, its really helpful.

what would you say she is?

It's hard with how fuzzy she is. Just print it out and go run through the list. can you feel her ribs,etc?

In the jumping pictures you posted, her ribs were visible, in this one not so much so Im not really sure.

its because she is fuzzy. i cant feel her ribs any more

any thing on her confo?
