232. Piling on the pounds...

Due to Spice not being all that active (due to still being lame) she has started to get a bit porky so on the vets advice (due to the fact that she is on no hard feed and only has a moderate amount of haylage) she is now to stay un rugged at night to help her shed those excess pounds. She is stabled at night so it wont do her any harm to be kept naked but to be honest it is only in the past two weeks that i have actually started to rug her at night (due to temperatures being below freezing) so i'm not sure how much difference this will make. Hopefully the lameness will subside and she will become naturally more active and shed the weight that way. At the moment she is still lame in trot but the vet is pleased with her progress and remains hopeful...
