Should I be worried about Laminitis?

It was been a little while since I last blogged, and in that time a lot has happened!

Molly in really enjoying being out at night, but I have had to increase the amont of time during the day that she has to come in.  This is because after just a few days of living out, you could see such a dramatic change in her weight.  Who would have thought it a few weeks back that I would be trying to slow her weight increase down!!

At the time of my last blog she was averaging 392kgs,

Five days later her weight was up to 401kg, and two days later it was up to 411kg!!

Now I am back to my old worry of laminitis, so she is in during the day when the grass sugar levels are at their highest, which she seems to like, as she has a yummy feed and soaked haynet waiting for her.

I have taken some new pictures and will upload them later, I will also blog later,with the recipe I was kingly given by a friend for homemade fly repellent.  I think it works really well and you can make it up in large batches, and costs a fraction of the price of the leading brands.

Until laterx....
