    Bare field, fat horses, one can’t tolerate hay 🤦‍♀️

    My vet always says.." look at what's not in the field"..Meaning look at the rested field and see how much it has grown. Your bare paddock will be growing as quickly but as they are constantly grazing it we think the horses don't have anything to eat! But the truth is they have loads of new full...

    Back last summer I took my lovely boy to his first ever show. We loaded up fine to go, travelled really well, unloaded like a pro(not like me as I'd developed jelly baby legs) Tacked up, did our classes, even got placed 3rd and a 5th!! Got back to our shared transport to find other horse already...
