Personally for me anyway, there is no circumstance under which I would not turnout. If I had to imprison mine and my clients horses routinely, Im afraid I would just have to pack up. I just dont think its acceptable, EVER. But like I said, this is my own personal view. Even when ve had one on box rest, I still make a pen within the field so they dont feel like theyre on lock down! I hate, hate, hate to see horses stuck inside. Yes our fields are literally destroyed in winter, but our horses are happy and settled with no behavioural issues at all. Hay fed in their paddocks when grass is gone so they dont mind the mud!
