Ive never really thought about how gassy my cob is!! I assumed it was a typical pony/horse thing... but people on my yard (and previous yard) keep commenting on how all he does is emit loud gas all day long.....he can even be quite musical with it..... but seriously, is this not normal?

Did you read the replies to your grazing muzzle post?
They might help your cob, not just with weight but gassy tum.....

Your horse needs to see a vet you have already said on a previous thread how footy he is yet he still seems to be out on grass and has bad gas, why bother asking for advice if you have no intention of listening to it.

Laminitis starts in the gut your horse is obviously not coping on the grass but hey ho.

Im sorry Pinkvboots - I hadn't realised that gassiness was a symptom of Laminitis - he has always been like this all year round... but he is not on grass 24/7 now he is stabled at night with a small wet haynet and Greenguard muzzle is on order..
 
Hi Fuzzy Furry I have just seen your reply - apologies but my system was acting up... I had not realised that gassiness was a symptom of Laminitis - he is now off the grass at night and stabled with a very small wet haynet...

It's not really a symptom but it's an indication that his gut balance isn't right so rich grass or feed can cause that, then the toxins build up in the gut and it can cause laminitis, I am glad to hear you are getting him off the grass for a bit though I would seriously keep an eye on him.
