Hi everyone,
ive had my cob for 3 months, and he is great.
But i'm not 100 % happy at the yard where we are
Ive have found somewhere else that is nearer to home, better hacking etc, only trouble is you have to use there own bedding and haylage which i dont mind, but about 12 months ago he had laminitis, not sure of the circumstances of exactly how he got it!
I have been soaking his hay to reduce sugers etc, but i am worried about putting him on to haylage, can it be soaked to reduce sugars like hay??
The lady at this new yard takes in rescues and sais she soaks it for any overweight ones she gets in, but i have never heard of this,
Do any of you guys feed laminitics haylage ?? or any one have any opinions on this.
Any advice as always much appreciated.
