Well at the end of last week I saw the weather forecast and it said it was going to turn cold Sunday/Monday and we might even have snow. So I dashed out to get Penny another rug. Unfortunately they did not have any medium weight turn out rugs in stock, so I bought a medium weight stable rug to go under her light weight. I'm so pleased I did, as last night was freezing and we had snow this morning. when I gave her her breakfast she was all toasty under rugs.

The vet came today to give her her final EHV. I asked her to look at Penny's condition and she said that whilst she is a little light, she looks fine. If she loses any more weight then I will need to think again. She is now having 2kg of mare & youngstock mix a day and I am introducing her to Alfa oil as it is supposed to be very good for putting condition on horses. I definitely think that her condition has improved since the beginning of March so I am pleased, I think she is going the right way. She is also having hay at night.

Next thing will be for her to have her feet trimmed and swap her on to an Eqvalan womer. I need to worm her asap so that I can do her last one before foaling at the beginning of May.

So Penny seems to be a bit happier, fingers crossed that she will start blooming soon!
