Navi's Growing...Too Fast

Poor Navi seems to be going through a growth spurt and apparently we were feeding her too well, because her tendons can't keep up with her bones. Last week we noticed her being "over at the knees" and being pretty shaky. So we called the vet, she came out the next day and said no more alfalfa as it is causing her to grow too fast. So now we were brainstorming on a way to keep her with the other three horses, but yet not have her get any alfalfa.

Currently we are pulling her out of the paddock at night when we feed the other three their alfalfa and then we put Navi back in the paddock in the morning to spend all day with the herd and eat all the grass hay she wants from the slow feeders. Navi gets a nibble net full of dry land straight grass at night so she has food at night in her pen.

Still I am pretty sure she thinks we hate her since during the day until her fly sheet arrives she gets sprayed with sunscreen (which is highly stinky in her mind) and then at night she is pulled away from her herd and the yummy alfalfa that she is accustom to getting daily. However it seems to be working, so she will be stuck with this routine for possibly the next year!

Speaking of fly sheets her outfit should be her tomorrow :)

What Navi will be wearing all summer to protect her from burning. Except her outfit isn't plaid...just plain white.

Currently Navi is just shy of 14 HH and is around 750lbs. So she hasn't grown a ton since November, but she is losing her baby look and is getting taller. I need to get some current pics of her!
