She was very small but FAT.<br /><br />It is important that she can poop/pee on command when she's working as a therapy horse because she's in hospital and nursing home environments a lot and she can't exactly relieve herself in a patient's room.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08707037151404133158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7503414269772613959.post-10441662088804829822011-11-10T23:57:56.115-05:002011-11-10T23:57:56.115-05:00Peeing and pooping on command?

Well, his belly is at any rate. Ribs still sick OUT. Sheesh..it's tough to balance it all out.<br />I think Lucy looks really great...curious to see about the fecal. I did the same thing b/c I was convinced it was worms too; his fecal came back negative last week. I think Fall can do a doozy on them.Kristen Eleni Shellenbargerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01458744919530540978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7503414269772613959.post-57179011189908642952011-11-10T08:09:05.658-05:002011-11-10T08:09:05.658-05:00Is she still on her ulcer meds?

That always helps them gain a little weight.<br /><br />If you want any advise on how to make a hard keeper (esp Thoroughbred) fat let me know, my guy is huge now, almost borderline needs to go on a diet. This horse was underweight his entire life prior to me owning him, and everyone who knew him before sees him now and can not believe his condition.<br /><br /> Ideally she should be gaining weight at this point before winter and the real cold.<br /><br />I know how to fatten em' up :)A Fillys Best Friendhttp://fillysbestfriend.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7503414269772613959.post-34218647326390937262011-11-09T23:35:41.883-05:002011-11-09T23:35:41.883-05:00You know, weight is just a number on a scale, and ...You know, weight is just a number on a scale, and is not as important as her actual body condition. Not to mention if that scale is a portable scale it might be a little off from time to time? <br /><br />What's important is that you are staying on top of your horse's health and correcting things before they get to be a problem.<br /><br />That mini is ADORABLE! I'm guessing closer to 300lbs? I'm horrible at that game though.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09066327510880156537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7503414269772613959.post-27509972304925226842011-11-09T21:17:54.597-05:002011-11-09T21:17:54.597-05:00I am guessing 250 on the mini.

I saw a horse horse pee on command for the first time last summer, it was quite interesting and I asked the lady how she trained her horse to do it. About Lucy's weight I don't think I would really stress over it. Just like all of us we have to assess weight on a daily basis. Everything can be a factor in fluctuations in weight, I mean everything. So it is going to fluctuate. Now if I had a scale availble to me to weigh my horses I would probly become compulsive about it just like I do with my own weight.Amyhttp://slowandsteadysmilerwinstherace.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7503414269772613959.post-88027973099194354742011-11-09T20:38:25.934-05:002011-11-09T20:38:25.934-05:00The pony peed and pooped on command?
