My horse was bought to live out 24/7 but six months later I just don't think it's right for him.
He had suspected mild lami after I got him so that was dealt with and after he had a little bute and boxrest and some boots, and got a great trimmer, he' s doing really well. He's now barefoot and slowly growing new hoof through which is great.
Trouble is, managing him with our set up, any other horse I would just restrict his grazing and put him in a fenced off area- only he loves to jump and jumps over electric fencing and even a second line of 5ft electric fencing on the outside of that one even back when he had sore feet!...so I've had to put a grazing muzzle on him which he hates so much, just been trying to put it back on him so I can move him to another field as his one is so boggy and I can't he freaks out.
I feel I've come to realise that he'd be better off as a stabled horse with restricted turn out...but who would want to buy him as he is? It's a shame as he's a nice affectionate boy and is good for hacking and jumping and he's done hunting etc... just needs to finish growing his new hoof.
Do people agree or am I just being overly negative?
