17hh gelding who weighed 668kg about a month ago on a weighbridge. Rising 12, unridden, going to retirement 1st April with access to acres of fields in a herd situation. Understandably, if the weather is good he won't be fed twice a day or have access to hay like he currently is as he won't need it. He will be turned out 24/7 (but rugged as appropriate).
Do you think I should reduce his weight a little as he's used to an individual paddock around 50m x 180m? And used to being in at night.
He's currently on 2 x feeds of Healthy Hoof 3 handfuls per feed, half stubbs scoop of made up speedibeet and hay.
