As if the grass situation wasnt bad enough .... the scorching weather has now killed off large parts of the remaining grass for a horse thats meant to be out 24/7 this time of year this is a very sh...y situation!
im still wrestling with myselfr whether i can justify keeping her in at night where she would be alone in the stable block as everyone else is out.
at the moment i have a friend bring her in earlier a couple of times a week (earlier as in before i get to the yard after work) and possibly someone else who could do that for me as well.
how many hours should she be in with ad lib hay per day you think? im trying to figure this out so i can find some sort of routine. would it be fair to bung her in the stable at night by herself?
she hasnt lost any weight yet (in fact shes put a little bit bac on since i upped the alfalfa and give her a little rest with hay every night.) but seems keen to come in (= i call her and she'll be racing to the gate .... not exactly a normal occurance!) ...
