I'm surprised she hasn't foundered. She has little feet. If he had left her out on his pasture much longer I'll bet she would have. He's been keeping her up for 6 wks, but I know this guys hay is probably as good as you can get, plus he was just giving her a "little" grain:)

You know... I almost commented on her little feet, but didn't want to offend. My sentence above said ".... but that is one tubby mare that is too big for her feet!" until I edited that out. ;~D
Pretty common in the show bred QHs... My friend has a really nice mare with feet that are way too small. Keep their weight down and careful about a lot of pounding kind of work was my advice to her.
