2, because I need one for the saddle, and one for the terretted roller & accoutrements...
and one rug rack (goodness only knows where my last one went!)
two walks out in hand for grass, one prance round the arena to look at it, one lunge session in the arena (bitless and no roller etc) for exercise.
As before, she's happy when the horses in the field are at her end of it, and not when not; she's spent most of her time with her head out of the door as i can tell from the poo pile..
if i want to top up her hay without going in, i just need lean in through the glassless window, LOL - so that corner is where the haybar will go, once she's out in the field and i can get it up.
She is too stressed to tie up outside sensibly at the moment, so i'm not even going to try....
she's allowed out as of about 4 pm tomorrow afternoon ... i'm planning on videoing, i think!
and i'm not planning to do any real work with her until she's relatively settled again...
and i'm going to get fit. walk down hill about 5 mins to mares field, and back up again ...
and the field itself is massive, with a heck of a climb to the top if that's where they happen to be!
So hopefully, i should get my muscles a bit toned up and lose something off my hips that's been gradually creeping on the last few years
and she does look a bit thin....but then there's not been a lot of grass at Leamside....and yet, if i gave her more than 16 lbs of hay overnight, she wasted it...

Switching my Boys over to a higher fat pellet. Should help Toby pack on a little more. Tuck and Chance will have to be cut back, but the lower sugar will still be good for them.
The new farm sounds quite nice for Molly, I think. Might be a bit more exercise for you, but as long as you can do it, walking is always good.
Hope you do get videos of the turnout. That should be fun!! *G*
it's the one i was at until last june, jean, but a different yard on it, if you see what i mean...
i think once molly gets in the field she'll turn into a butterball....at least it's on a hill, which will help her muscles!
Lovely new place, and the hill turnout will help tone you both. As if I know what I'm walking about, I could use being out on a hill at the moment!
Hope the turnout isn't *too* exciting!
I agree with Jean that a high fat pellet will help but there's nothing like grass to round a horse's profile.
