Sorry, Nic, I think she does look thin. NOT "poor" she is in excellent health that is obvious. The hay....well, some hay is good, some is no more nutritious than straw- do you know what you have?? I KNOW it's squeaky clean and beautiful looking I know you would feed her no less, but what is it's nutritional content?? That being said my Arab mare Amira was about her height and could tuck away a full bale of top seeds hay , no problemo- and NOT nursing a foal, either as I was/am blessed with pasture and have never even had to supplement feed my broodmares. I would look into getting Beet Pulp for her, and for Image too, he is way old enough, and do not tail off her feed too quickly when you wean him- she has every right to be a little plump- I would much rather "fit" a plump horse than a thin one!!! How's the boarding mare doing??? Progress report, please, and pictures.
