My horse aged 25 lives with another of the same age. Their fields were like a desert during the hot weather and they were on ad lib hay. The fields have now recovered and the grazing is reasonable. However they are still scoffing as much hay as we give them. They seem quite happy to stand at the gate finishing their (large) nets and then happily go off to graze. I cannot decide whether they are hungry or taking the easy option. One of them is pretty fat whilst mine who has Cushings is showing his ribs but well rounded everywhere else. .Do I continue with the hay or stop it now and see whether they lose weight? Whatever, I will continue to give mine hard feed as he always struggles to keep condition on.
