But as Susan said, there are other factors she's taking into account which is a good thing. "She has a crest and a fat tail base. I can't easily feel her ribs. Her cannon has grown a lot and she is wider. I will just have to wait to see whats left when the winter coat comes off. Last summer she was only 312 kg. I may have to get her a muzzle." When Gusti was at his heaviest and I couldn't exercise him enough, I muzzled him for a time. Now with Elska around, she chases him away from his food first so he's at a fairly good weight now. Last year, I left Elska on what I thought was a weedy pasture and her weight ballooned over the summer. It was a struggle to get it back down again. It's a constant struggle...no doubt about it.
