My cob has got chubby and ive been trying everything to keep it off mainly muzzles which he refused to keep on - he got the knack of pulling them off with his hoof, rather like you and i might pull a tight welly off with our other foot - ive tried different muzzle types, different sizes - bought a field safe head collar to fix on top of his muzzle hoping that would work - no!!!
Im on diy so i asked if i bought my own fencing could i strip off part of the field just for my boy and another livery having same probs with her mare.
YO said "dont buy anything - i have lots of fencing", we said we would put it up he said no i'll sort it - this was yesterday.
Went up this morning to bring my boy in and he has made the most beautiful patch for the fatties - long and thin, under lots of trees for shelter and two steps away from the automatically filled water bath so we dont have to carry buckets far!!!!!
I so wish i could post pics here, when i saw it i almost cried lol, its perfect!!!!
And my boy doesnt have to wear the dreaded muzzle which he absolutely hates so much so it was ruining our relationship - - he wouldnt come to me when he lost it fearing i would put it back on, which i did because i had to - he was becoming headshy thinking his headcollar was a muzzle -
oh im so so happy and my cob is buzzing!!!!


All this on very cheap diy!!!!
