It’s that time of year again when I often hear people saying to me “I don’t know how or why my horse is getting fat he is living in a bare paddock?!”
The first photo was taken on the 2nd of September after I reinstated the track system, after the rain and mild weather. The second photo was taken yesterday (9th September)
THIS is what our four legged cherubs are eating!! Green, and high in sugar!! Granted that this year it’s been made worse, as the grass is stressed due to the summer draught!
So don’t be fooled by our bare paddocks, horses are highly efficient grazing animals!! Now is an important time to watch out for laminitis and accelerated weight gain!
