Well, it's been a difficult few weeks with Harley, he didn't like the diet I had him on, so I did loads of research and have got him on Winergy Low, AlfaA-Oil, NAF Omega Oil with supplements, and at last he seems to be a bit brighter in his outlook. I took him for a short walk in-hand up the road yesterday and he was happy to be out.
When we got back I let him go but he didn't want to go away, he stayed and bugged me - he hasn't done that since August
. After we'd palyed a bit he chased Apollo round for a while too, so he's obviously feeling quite a bit more energetic than he has been.
On the downside, he's lost his shoulder muscles completely, and his rump and haunches are very poor. He's rugged and still eating nearly 2kg of feed per day (previous years he's been on half a kg so a big difference!).
BUT I do feel we've maybe turned a small corner, and we'll just have to see how it goes from here.
