I have a 5 yr old cob gelding and this is our first winter together. He lives out 24/7 on restricted grazing but plenty of hay (good doer) and currently has a small feed of speedibeet and good doer chaff, which he picks at. The problem I have is he is not overly fit, however when I ride he...
People are allowed there opinions and mine is that Cng are a fab bunch of people, I have hada few dealings with them and also am very grateful for rescuing an old horse I once owned. I have one of there horses now who will be with me forever. Please dont slate them without knowing them, yes...
