Klængur is fat. I’m not going to sugar-coat this. He looks like a hippo on the verge of laminitis.
So today he went to live with my neighbour’s mare who needs a fat companion. Yup, I have one of those….

Luckily Klængur thought Hekla was luffley.

Hekla can’t eat green grass and a fat on-the-verge-of-laminitic friend was required. Ta da! Here is one I prepared earlier.

The couple have a variety of paddocks with no grass. Perfect.

And this is just what my ginger hippo needs.

He tried to suck in his belly to impress.

He convinced no one, I told him!

I am pleased these two get on well. This set-up benefits us all. Klængur is only over the road and I can even see him from my house.

I am being cruel to be kind.

He will thank me for this.

Hekla and Klængur sort of know each other – they have been ridden out together.

Meanwhile the Old Men are trying to miss Klængur, but mostly think they will get his food! Nope.

Klaegnur has a lovely diet buddy! Such yummy mane, she has.
Good chuckle at the Old men trying to sucker feed out of you.
Those B&Ws of Monster are spot on — well done. While working from home w/pandemic may have (cough) caused some of us to gain a similar amount of poundage – empathy with Klaegnur’s new posting!
