Hi all,
Ok, so I know we are coming into summer and i'm asking about winter, but I'm trying to prepare myself and neddy, and need your honest opinions and experiences about Winter 24/7 turnout/grazing as I have never done it and am considering it...
I moved to a new yard that has this option in winter (summer is 24/7)...
1) 24/7 turnout,
2) A couple of hours in a turnout sand paddock for a run about and a play, but no actual grazing.
I would ideally prefer him to be out for half of the day on grazing, but that isn't an option. So the question is, what are your HONEST pro's and cons for both horse and owner of winter turnout 24/7?
Many thanks!!!
Cakes and pies all round!!!
