well my mare amber is a friesian she is 16.1 just turned 8!
she has always had underdeveloped shoulders muscle wise have always put this down to being young same with the canter problems that we have just lack of wanting to do it and when she does keeping it going this has gotten better with more schooling but it just seems like its not going to get any better than what she's doing now! same with muscles in shoulders she is worked 6 days a week very raried hacking schooling lunging trotting poles hilly hacks! and those muscles just wont get any bigger we have just moved to a new yard which she seems to like and has settled in well been there 2 months but there is less grass than the old place so is good for the belly as its not as big but seems to have made the shoulders worse!
so i did a search abouth these two and ended up on a epsm website were i also could relate to some other symptoms like can sometimes have lack of energy (not all the time) and has always been a little funny with back feet when picking out nothing bad but its there no one else would probly notice but were i have had her since she was 2 its just one of those little habits that sometimes she can be a pain when picking them out and it changes sometimes its the left sometimes its the right seems the first back one you pick up is better than the second back one you pick up!if someone else was doing her they would just thinkshe was being a bit stubborn!
what do you think?
do you think i should try her on the diet?
shes on 2 scoops of apple chaff (the round scoops)
recommended amount of top spec feedbalancer
magnesium
seaweed (hair growth/coat)
mint
does anyone no a good vit E and selenium supplement that selenium isnt high in it as have read a few post were the selenium can be harmful if overdosed!?
what feed do you think i should change her to alfa-a oil and maybe some high fiber cubes with broad vit and min sup with addes soya-oil last year i feed her alfa-a oil (as wanted more energy) and she went bonkers so maybe it was because she had the topespec aswel?
thanks
