Ok so he lives out 24/7, up till recently been in the winter field with very little grass and been on ad lib haylage and light work consisting of a few walk/trot hacks (he's on working livery) and a few half hour sessions of school work which occasionally have a bit of canter work in them too thoughout the week.
Now he's been moved to a new field with plenty of summer grass and will be worked for at least half and hour a day by me with lots of walk, trot and canter work. Some days he'll do his usually work load of maybe an extra hour/ hour and a half of walk/trot work for the school too.
Should I be worried about him getting a big grass belly? Should I up his work load? Any other advice you'd give?
Thank you

) and I'll keep an eye on the tum. He's a good weight just now, can't see the ribs but can feel them so don't want him to gain or loose any weight right now. If it looks like he's getting weight on I'll buy him a grass muzzle.
