Then And Now - Pony Boot Camp Update

How's the pony fitness/weight loss adventure going?

I can tell you she feels far more energetic, and that I need a smaller girth for both saddles, so I think progress is being made. But, don't just take my word for it, I think you'll be able to see the difference for yourselves:


April 2017. The food baby is real, and I kept this pic then because it made her look the least fat, lol.

Today. I think I can see a difference!
Also today. I tried to pick the worst angle for her belly,but it still looks better than the April photo! Also, dapples:)
I think she's always going to have a round pony belly, but I'm loving that nowadays she's visually looking more proportionate  (ahem, less "round" overall). She actually has legs and a neck now, who knew? Still a few more pounds to go, though!  Progress has been slow and painful, but it's definitely been worth the effort.

 I actually can't believe how little she requires to thrive...those dapples  (and that belly) brought to you by rationed hay, a dry lot, and the world's teensiest scoop of minerals every day....oh, and 6 days a week of work! She literally costs as much to feed as our cat, lol, but needs more exercise than any creature I've ever owned, so I guess it all balances out!

  3. I can definitely see she's lost some around the withers. That's where Connor lost his weight too after he went on the grazing muzzle.

    1. Yes, for sure! She's got withers again! I can see it up close in her back too, she had fat deposits that are now gone and there's only muscle there now!

    1. Thank you. It's slightly depressing the changes aren't bigger given how crazy hard we're working to restrict her feed and exercise the calories away, but there IS a change, and that's a very good thing!
