Having lost a horse to a field kick in July (broken leg) thats the cons of turnout with company even the most settled group will bicker or have a hooley around playing, legs flying everywhere, they're big powerful animals. Mine was out with the YO's horses, I wouldn't have dreamed of going after...
Another Ease and Excel convert here, started using it about 2 yrs ago for a tb who came to us in a bit of a state, now it's a staple in the feed room, the horses look fantastic on it alongside some healthy tummy chaff.

Can anyone advise how the sizes come up? I'm 5ft 6/7 size 12 sometimes size 10 top half (not after Christmas excesses mind!) I've a long Joules winter coat 12 fits perfect, not sure if the Le Mieux come up small or take into account a bit of bum padding 😂
