from pot-bellied pig form to that of an actual horse! Who would have thunk that one week of measured weights of hay, and two weeks of Strategy (if that) would change one so quickly. This gets me even more excited about what is going to go on here.
I have to constantly remind myself that she is four months younger than these other two yearlings which is a lot when you are talking about babies, so that explains the difference in size---and it is also true that these yearlings are the biggest I have ever had. That makes the difference even more noticeable.
Regardless of her current size, she is super agile, and can get up under herself so far, it is amazing. When she stops, she just folds up into a C shape and rides it out. I have not noticed any of the awkwardness you see in the movement of babies and yearlings....I am sure it has been there, because they all have their doofus moments, but she is so sure footed and athletic, I just don't remember seeing her mess up yet. If waiting a little longer to start her is the only downside to this, I do not have a problem with that!

Don't you LOVE Strategy? That is why I will only feed it. I too like you tried many other feeds and the hard keepers truly tell me when a feed is worthy because if they can look good and not be eating anymore than normal, then I am sold. And Strategy is a feed that is safe for ALL horses in ALL stages of their life. And they go crazy over the taste, horses LOVE it. I LOVE it!

One thing I have changed along with the Strategy is actually feeding the recommended amouns. I normally assume that the amount on the bag is a load of crap, but I am giving it a month to see what happens. In some cases, this means I feed more feed, but in most it means I feed less.
It makes me nervous, but I am bound and determined to follow this plan to the T and evaluate at that point
Man...sounds like you guys love this Strategy. Wonder if I can find it up here?
And Ding looks great. Sure wish she could move north. LOL
