>>>> Our two mares are on what is essentially a dry lot. We both wonder how the horses could maintain a healthy weight at the breeder's and not here. Maybe it's true that if grass is all they ever experience, they only eat what they need. It would scare me, however.
Could easily be an age-thing. Your Icelandic's are both very young. I typically have had no obesity in my young horses, but plenty of those tendencies in my mature herd. Aren't your girls about four and five? How many skinny teenagers suddenly have to start watching their weights in their early 20's? :) Karen Thomas, NC No virus found in this outgoing message.
