Bruce is on approx 1/3 acre,mown as short as possible and muzzled. he hasnt starved yet! he gets soaked or double netted hay when he comes in and a balancer as his bucket feed. he ended up being muzzled nearly all winter as it was so mild they grass didnt stop growing for ages. he can eat hay out his net when muzzled so i wouldnt panic that she will go hungry!

I'm just going to have to get tough and put the muzzle on when she is out and arrange the school for her to mooch about in the rest of the time.
