Timmy is only 3 1/2 weeks old and he's already pulling Holly down. She has not bounced back into her lovely figure at all. I really thought she would. Her body looks crappy like she's been a broodmare for years and she is only 5 years old. 1st foal. She always had a nice little bod on her but now, oh yuk. I'm not worried, and she is certainly not starving, she just looks nasty.
As a matter of fact I have pouring the grain and hay to her, plus they are out on grass daily. Her backbone was trying to come up on me so I put her on three feedings a day and I make sure she has grass or hay in front of them all the time. This may call for an earlier weaning than I planned during winter if she continues to fall apart on me. She is up to date on de-worming etc.
My question is I am wondering if once Timmy is weaned, if she will then bounce back?
Do you think it's ok for me to lunge her lightly to try to put her body back in place for her or am I wasting my time?
