With a bit of anxiety, Fleur was released with a muzzle for the first time since her mini episode of laminitis. She came in filthy and full of herself having galloped herself into the ground. Poor girl, it's hard to know what to do with her.
it's a shame for her, she loves being out and running around but just need to restrict her as while her weight is fine, she is just prone. her mum lived out all winter and has never had a vet out since we got her, she is tough.I really feel for you, it’s very tough. To us complete freedom in a huge field of grass is how to keep a horse but the reality is sadly very different
Sounds like she had fun though!
Let her out tonight for a bit, as it was raining Buddy and Suze came in, Fleur went out briefly but when I came back to get them in she was on the yard and had considerately removed her muzzle.Oh I do feel your pain. What a curse that condition is.
Only trying to help mum.Let her out tonight for a bit, as it was raining Buddy and Suze came in, Fleur went out briefly but when I came back to get them in she was on the yard and had considerately removed her muzzle.
No no OMGLet her out tonight for a bit, as it was raining Buddy and Suze came in, Fleur went out briefly but when I came back to get them in she was on the yard and had considerately removed her muzzle.
The muzzle was on the yard so she had taken it off when she came in, ready to go to bed.No no OMG
When I came down to the yard I saw it was off and suspected it was up the field in the mud and I would never find it so I was pleasantly surprised to see it tidily outside her stable door. She clearly decided that she preferred to come back to the yard and the others given it was raining!On a serious note, hope it hasn't done her any harm
Little bugger has left it up the field this time, so end of experiment till I can get into field i.e. deep mud, and find another muzzle little so and so can't get out ofClever girl. Winter time saving, next she’ll be mucking herself out
They're like us - some adapt to the "retired" life really well, some don't. Ramsey never settled to it, his field mate took to it like a duck to water.Back to square one, she is lame again this morning, so yarded for now. will turn her out for a couple of hours a day with a muzzle and put a plastic pad in so she CAN'T eat anything, very sad for her. It's no life for a young horse but I guess it is better than being dead.
She's only 8 so very youngThey're like us - some adapt to the "retired" life really well, some don't. Ramsey never settled to it, his field mate took to it like a duck to water.
