I turned mine back out 24/7 for Spring yesterday!
I usually wait until the end of hunting season, but as the poor horses have been stabled so much more over the recent weeks due to the weather, thought they would appreciate an early return to the field.
We are very lucky to have a 3 acre hill field, which despite the horrendous weather, still has a good covering of grass and the only mud is in the gateway - I put out haylage but none of them even touched it.
No doubt winter will have another 'sting in its tail' and they may well have to come back in for a short period, but as we are forecasted for around 10 days of dry weather, though I would take advantage of it.
Happy days!

If I had lush grass my horses wouldn't get anywhere near it until it was in a bale!
