Ambers Echo
Still wittering on
Some horses of all types self regulate with unrestricted access. But some just don't. My old yard was a good example. About 30 RS horses on 100 acres out 24/7/365 in hard work as they were all used the RS. Most were fine. A few just weren't and got far too fat and needed managing separately.
I think your best bet is to ask how any horse you are interested in is kept and see what the current owner says. Ideally buy one who is already out 24/7 in the summer and ask for pics from summer to make sure the horse was not hugely overweight on that regime.
