Oh AA, bless you it sounds like you and yours have a right time of it with bloat, ben is thankfully not seemingly suceptible to the worst of this condition (so far). He has always had it to some extent but this year there are less horses in the field and alothough there are lots of sheep there...

Thank you for the tip MM. have you seen much of a difference since adding them?

thank you :)

Spring grass, gassy horse that looks like a whale and farts like he's eaten a bean factory... Currently debtating daytime stabling and grazing muzzle as despiste grazing with sheep to help keep the grass down Beastie looks like a baloon, however kneck and hindquarters not looking like hes fat...

So a little update - had a good look this evening, the two outer breeze block walls are 5.5 blocks high, there are various tide marks on the walls from past drenchings, but for the most worst tide marks are on the 3rd and 4th full block, the final top full block remains relatively dry in most...

I would say this is definately not condensation, it *may be rising damp* although there is nothing really on the outside of the wall, it's just wall. We are in Cumbria and that wall is the one that get's battered by the elements. Don't get me wrong, the internal partition get's wet too, but...

Nope that's perfet thank you :)

Thank you guys! So many suggestions! I am really grateful... I know Mr Beast will be too!

That is a really good idea. What did you use to fix the matting Peglo?

That looks great! Thank you!

The yard owner has agreed for me to paint the stable but I won't be painting his entire barn, TBH I am not sure he would be OK with me painting the outside anyway.
