The vet has been to see Penny today and says that her foot has cleared up nicely. He has said that she can go back out with a poultice boot on, but with the mud the way it is I am not optimistic that it will stay on. As such we are trying some foot putty. I have put some in today and am going to see if it survives while she is in the stable and if it does, then I will turn her out tomorrow. Fingers crossed!

Penny has had her second EHV jab, next one is due at the beginning of April. She is also due her flu jab in May, when I will also give her a tetanus. She should be up to date then with her jabs ready for her foal.

The vet said that her condition is spot on. She does not want to gain any more weight , which with poor nutrition in the grass at this time of year, is unlikely. Whilst she has been in she has been having approx 450g of Suregrow and half a bucket of chaff per feed, twice a day. She has been having as much hay as she can eat. I will stick with this feeding (minus the hay) while she is out as she has access to grass 24/7.
