Sorry more fatty woes!
Mare is in muzzle overnight out in 3 acres with 2 others, grass is shortish but I thought ok for the muzzle. She is in in the morning with a net of 12 hour soaked hay 6am - 1pm, then ridden for avg 1 hour medium speed hack or lunged trot and canter 20 minutes. After exercise turned out in bare paddock until fed supplements with lo cal chaff, muzzled and out with herd.
Sooo, the question, I'm getting only 1 or 2 poos in the bare paddock and stable, don't know what happens overnight as she's with the others.
The 1 or 2 happen in the period 6 am until say 7pm less exercise.
This seems really low amount as the very first day in her fatty paddock I took half a barrow off.
I'm thinking she is not getting enough through the muzzle so is not eating much for 10 hours she's in it, thoughts?.
