My horse is fat. Not horrifically but definitely fat.
I've fenced off a small section of his very large field for him to be in overnight and he then comes in during the day.
His section is big enough for him to trot around in and I've made it as track like as possible to encourage movement. We really have a ridiculous amount of grass so am reluctant to make it any bigger for now. I'm also increasing his exercise.
The problem is I'm feeling awful about separating him off from his companions. He can still see them but can only interact when they decide to be near him.
He seems happy enough and I leave him grazing away but the guilt is there.
Keep telling myself prevention is better than cure but struggling to convince myself!
Am I doing the right thing?
