Hi all, well my pony's going out on summer grass soon, will be strip grazed. Atm she's the ideal weight and size for her shape. However when she hits the grass despite being strip grazed I know she's going to balloon! So she'll be in at night with soaked hay.
So I'm looking for ways to help keep the weight off her in regards to exercise. However don't want to lunge her or increase riding sessions as I do worry about her joints (she's 4). Currently she's ridden 3x a week in the school for 20-30 minutes, and then hacked once.
How effective is in hand walking to keep horses trim? Does anyone have any other alternatives to ridden exercise?
Thanks all
