[haflingerfriends] Re: A fun challenge!

Yikes! Kiola, my two have had no exercise for the past six weeks AND we've just had 10 days of freezing weather during which I've fed extra hay to keep them warm! They both look like big fur balls with hay bellies right now!! I'm sure both are about 975 lbs and I like them to be much nearer 925 lbs when in good condition.

I'll weight tape them after they shed out and have had a month of exercise, okay? LOL I do know they both have an 8" cannon bone measurement in the winter although the mare is 13.3hh and the gelding is 14.2hh. (Those are someone else's height measurements by stick 'cause my tape puts Bob at over 15hh--and he's NOT that tall). The cannon bone may be smaller once they lose all the winter hair--I'll check that in the spring after shed-out, too. ;o)
