The trouble is, as with kids, so many people work long hours and have a short amount of time to fit in riding their horse and then to assuage their guilt give them lots to eat!! Horses need to work! Ha ha, better get off and exercise my fat horse!!!

My little pudden doesn't get half enough exercise!Saw a horse at the show yesterday who used to come to PC. He's mostly TB and used to look like it, now he looks like a fat WB, and struggles round a 70cm jumping course! Ridiculous!
