I have a lovely cob x tb who maintains her weight very well. Currently she is in a small paddock with short grass. Without hay she only produces 6 poos in 24 hours. 3 kg of hay gets her up to 8 poos a day but also makes her gain a little weight. Soaking hay in not a choice. She is ridden / worked 2 to 4 times a week, so is very much a leisure horse. Upping her work load more is also tricky. I want to cut her hay out altogether however think only 6 poo's a day is a clear sign of not enough fibre going through. Can anyone offer any advice, thank you.
