I am sure this topic has been discussed before, but I only discovered this
forum a few weeks ago. So if you don't mind I would appreciate hearing
about your strategies of feeding (or should I call it restricting access to
fresh grass) your horses in the spring, when the pastures turn green and
invite overweight horses and founder. My problem is that I am boarding my 3
mares, and it is difficult to explain to people, who are used to keeping
thoroughbreds, that especially this type of horse should not be send out to
pasture in May for 24 hours a day. I would appreciate any suggestions that
could work in a boarding situation, that means resonable amount of work
involved for the people who take care of our threesome. There are 2 big
pastures (native grass) and a couple of paddocks, also could possibly use
electric fencing.
Thank you all
