She looks really good in the picture above. I admit though I like halter weight on horses. I cring when I look at endurance horses, they are lean, mean, running machines but they all look hungry to me :)

Thanks :~) she does look good, I'd rather have her where she is now than the bony thing she was when we bought her. But now that her weight's up, she's proving to be an easy keeper. I just increased Bay's grain a little because he's been losing weight on this local hay. I don't think there's much nutrition in it and I'll be glad when it's gone and we can get some better. Pony gets just half a small (one pound) coffee can of grain, Cyn we just brought back to one full can, and Bay's now getting two cans. The grain we're feeding now is one part senior feed, two parts COB, all mixed together. We usually bump it up to two parts senior to one part COB for winter.

I'm with you on that one, although my chunky monkeys couldn't do a half mile of an endurance course.

Was Tuffy in the color class? He sure is alot prettier than the paint that won.
