now results in charlie having to stay in for a couple of weeks and go on a different feed to bulk him back up again (after consultation over phone with vet). not quite sure what i'll do with molly. she isn't stressing (he is!) and hasn't lost any weight - i could tell on Sunday when i put the massage pad on, no adjustments required in the straps ...hadn't used it for a while... She stands a bit, then grazes a bit, then stands a bit ... i'm told! where he stresses. and there's a concern that they are fed up with each other as well (too much time together?)
of course if we keep them in, they'll have to have a couple of hours out just for exercise..and it's still not light enough to work them at night after work (well, not for me, and G has children to mind as well until her OH comes home, so not for her..)
we've decided i'll turn Molly out in the morning and if she ends up just loitering about in the deep mud looking at charlie G will bring her in before she goes to work...
too much wet! too much cold. poached fields... doh.

Poor Charlie. Being a worrywort does not help keep the weight on. Could Molly be eating some of his share?
Hopefully you'll be able to work out some arrangement where they both get some good turnout. Spring should cure all ills, if we ever get there....*sigh*
This weather is getting wearisome isn't it?
As for paired turnout, I think it works well for close friends and old, sedate horses but we can see with our two there are times they want be be at opposite ends of the field!
oh dear :-( sounds as though another move may be on the cards if things don't work out for Charlie.
