Dd is worried that for the past couple of weeks her pony hasn't been as "up for it" as usual. She's perfectly well in herself - she just seems to have lost her fizz.
She's at working livery, but never does more than a couple of hours work a day - less during termtime. She lives out, but has 3 feeds a day - mix and chaff - because she's inclined to lose condition.
The yard owner suggested maybe giving her a bit of sugar beet or barley if she doesn't perk up - but we agreed to wait until we see how she reacts to the new grass.
The changes does seem to coincide with the grass coming through - but I would have thought that would have the opposite exxect, wouldn't it?
