feed advice

[spooks]

we are moving otto on saturday to a yard we used to be on. the paddock he will have has not been grazed all winter and the grass is about 3 or 4 inches long. the field he is currently on doesnt have any grass in it. he has hard feed morning and night and approx half a bale of hay per day,he isnt ridden much at the moment (hence the move as better facilities ) he will be ridden daily with one day off and out during the day and in at night year round unless its really hot then he will out at night and in during the day. do i need to cut his hard feed or restrict the grazing initially or just leave things how they are ?
thanks in advance

I always introduce my horses to better grazing very gradually. Especially if theyve been used to bad grazing. Just an hour a day initially to allow the gut to adapt. Then build up to a couple of hours over a week.

I would also cut out all the hard feed too.
