A week has now passed and we have success on the diet and horse front.
The soaked hay is going down a storm Charlie loves the mix some days his choice is soaked and some days his choice is dry but both are eaten.
The draining in the tub works a treat and the 3kg soaked is easy easy to lift out. I open up the tap in the morning and serve the hay for tea in his hotel rooms.
The new Equifeast regime is working however some days he scoffs his breakfast and some days he picks at it.
So Current feed regime Half Hay (3kg) soaked for 12 hours and half fed dry another 3-4 kg.
1 mug of Fast Fibre with 1 level scoop of Lo Mag and 4 rounded spoons of Magnesium added.
I had a good lesson Friday and then we hacked out Saturday and Sunday and he was a very good boy. He led part of the way hacking on Sunday but did have two blips where he decided to turnround and ask someone else to lead but then Rome wasnt built in a Day and they were only minor. We hacked out again this morning with 3 others one of whom he hasn't hacked with before.
I am not going to ask him to hack alone for some time as he is so much better I keep being asked out as he is not seen as dodgy company and I am not so neurotic.
His weight has come down to about 585 hard to tell with the flakey weight tape system but he is looking better and the girth is easier.
