I've been treating Fatty's mallanders with filtabac, and have been adding seaweed to her diet. It seems to be working, and there are definitely fewer scabs and poorly skin. #fatty #mallanders #seaweed

Husband dared me to title this vid as above! He also suggests that SFB is 2tonnes....so he may have other issues!!! The scarecrow appeared the other day, and this is SFB's first time hacking past. Lots of reassurance was required :)

Track system/Paddock paradise, with water buffet is now almost complete after what seems to have been an absolute age! Fatty isn't impressed, but I should be able to manage her weight better over summer, and not having to move plastic fencing is a bonus :) Just the herb garden, a rolling area, and some logs and I'll be able to rest easy. Now that's it's nearly there and the weather is getting b...

He's fed up of staying in overnight when there's a whole field to roam. I don't blame him; they're normally out 24/7 from the beginning of March. Unfortunately, the fieldmate of the horse in the next field went over the rainbow bridge and her owner asked if mine could stay in a little longer. SFB has decided that now it's sunny he is NOT staying put!!!! I love this pony :)

A few days away, and I've returned to a dry field! Perhaps I ought to have gone away sooner?!! The grass is growing well, so now to set up the summer track for Fatty. They're both extremely happy that I going to give them some fresh grass :) #fatty #newgrass #equestrian

It's fab weather for ducks! I don't think it has stopped raining since August....On clay soil it's becoming less and less enjoyable. Hopefully the ditch will help and the dry weather will soon be upon us :) #fatty #equestrian #horsesandmud

It's a beautiful day today, so with the sun shining I thought I'd see how Fatty's winter diet has been going. It's been far too wet to do very much at all recently, but the restricted diet seems to have worked. She's now at the perfect weigh going into the grass growth season (fingers crossed!) so now ready to start schooling and hacking as soon as the ground dries up a bit more :) #fatty #ems ...

When I read about how to manage Fatty's weight there's always a reference to having the hay tested for sugar content. Sending it off to a lab seemed a bit daunting and time-consuming, so I thought I'd find out how to test at home. Turns out it's not that difficult! The great news is that I needn't soak this batch of hay as the sugars are already low enough. I will continue to soak her evening h...

Fatty and I may not see eye to eye all of the time, but she is worth her weight in gold :) I didn't duck low enough under a hawthorn tree branch whilst crossing a narrow bridge, and I ended up on the ground with most of my skin left behind!!!! The pics don't do justice to how much damage I'd done! Fatty though could have run off or been difficult to catch. She wasn't, I called and she walked sl...
