me > one is a mare with a 3 month old...
i keep 2 of my ponies on land i rent and my other 2 are on my fathers farm, it can be quite lonely at times and often wish i was on a yard , that is until i read some of these posts , i know horsey people can be a nasty bunch but my god some of these people take the biscuit :(
i totally agree with this monitoring is not enough, this is something i feel very strongly about, we owe it to our horses/ ponies to keep them laminitis free and the only way to do this is by strict management, I have a extremely good doer who is stabled in the summer with 2-3 hrs turnout a day...
fluffy bunny brigade at it again, thinking they are doing the right thing but making things a whole lot worse

please take time listen to this program that aired on sunday on radio wales it runs for 28 mins and it is in english hopefuly it will answer all your questions for these MUCH LOVED ponies
