I've decided to bring one of my boys in for a few weeks because he's not eating properly out in the field,he's nosy and keeps hanging over the fences to talk to the other horses who are being turned out for a few hours!! (He's in love with on of the mares so gets scatty when she comes out to play!!!) So he keeps missing the hay and haylage being put out, he's dropped a small amount of weight..not enough to be hugely worried but as I have some time off work over Xmas I've decided to let him come in at night that way he can have a good few hours of scoffing and I won't mind him not eating while turned out!!!
Anyway my question is (I have never had stable kept horses...always have big strapping cobs who don't 'do' stables!!) how many bales of shavings will I need? He has a stable I use for when he's bought in for feeding or riding but I just keep it with 1 mat and 1 bag of shavings to lightly cover the floor. So do you think I can get away with adding 3 extra bags, and would this be enough for a week of being in at nights??
Sorry being a dunce!!
