Erm nope. Not the case here, fair amount of grazing and plenty of (((((((((((((((((forage))))))))))))))))) given to supplement it. I have never heard of someone assuming that winter means the animals aren't fed :confused:
 
Are all the horses in your area also without frequent access to forage? My my, pink must be a goldmine in your area.

Ours are on clay too! :rolleyes:

So not only is your mare having little to no ((((((((((forage)))))))) eating ((((((((((mud))))))))))) - so far as we can tell because you still haven't (((((((((((answered the question)))))))))))) but she's also doing so whilst ((((((((((((swimming?)))))))))))):confused::confused:
 
So help me out here. She isn't at the gate, she has her head down eating. Your field is knee deep in mud And you can't put forage out for her. What is she eating? :confused:
 
Mine are out 24/7 in mud with very little grass but LOADS AND LOADS of (((((forage))))) to keep them busy. I cannot believe someone would be so blatantly selfish and stupid as to leave their horse without anything for that length of time :(

I have told you 2 feeds a day and 2 haynets. Prior to moving she had good grazing a shelter and ad lib hay.... I didn't know how bad the weather was going to be or would have kept her there for another month.
 
Wow, taken me ages to read this, especially the last 15 pages about ((((forage)))), is the mare staying/going, now fat/still thin. My brains exploded from the brackets so I'm rather confused :o

I think i know where you are now.....and no, we have cay soil/....
 
Sorry putting my 2pences worth in.My tb is out 24/7 the field has suffered this winter quite badly, but I make sure she has a CONSTANT supply of forage, if your horse is knee deep in mud as you say two haynets is not enough imo.
 
The OP may be a troll. The OP may be exaggerating or immature. If horses really are in this situation, I doubt if she'll heed any advice after some of the posts on here today. I know, lets gang up and see how stupid we can make her feel. That should work. I hope the OP is on a wind up.

I understand why you might say this but the OP had pages and pages of sensible advice which she blatantly ignored. This was before people started taking the pi3s, if she isn't able to understand that she needs to feed her horse then you can hardly blame everyone.....

She was given a lot of time and still she knows better and a horse is fine to only eat for two hours per day.

Totally agree with you Regandal.
 
I actually disagree with Regandal as I think she wasn't prepared to listen in the first place really. However.....

Ach do you know what although (if this was in fact a real post) I totally disagree with the OP's methods and think she's missing something fundamental in her horse care I am now feeling a bit bad about all this so I'm now going to stop with the huge amounts of brackets and bow out as I don't see the point in continuing with it because a. I don't think we're going to get proper answers and I think the OP will just do whatever she feels is right whether we agree or not and b. I don't really want to be vindictive whatever my personal views on her mares lack of forage.

If the OP is a troll (which I truely hope and believe she is) well *goes off shaking head*

Op wasn't listening to any advice even before the (((((forage))))) posts, she/he was just ignoring it & labelling those who disagreed with the situation being acceptable mean & bullies. So I doubt any of us ((((((ganging up)))))) has made the blindest bit of difference to ops thoughts on (((((forage))))))

If you have given advice, and the OP hasnt take it, then surely you have done all you can to help.
To continue as a group and humiliate the OP is wrong.:(

If you acknowledge she isnt listening to you then walk away , with the full knowledge that you have given good advice.
 
The (((((victim))))) mentality on this forum is so unnecessary. I'll be the first to admit I extract the urine on occasion, but at least I don't pretend I'm on a moral crusade by going around finding things to be offended by. I suggest if people want a new figurehead for hho's latest ((((((poor me))))) victim campaign then at least find one that is worthy of sympathy.
