We are thinking of moving to Spain. We have had a good look around at equine lifestyles out there and there are some surprising differences.
1. Horse have little or no turnout - those turned out are usually sand paddocks not grazing. Due to this the amount of energy they have if heavily influenced by what they eat. Being stabled all day, you dont want a fizz bomb.
2. The diet is mainly a mix of straw and alfalfa (which is bought baled - similar to hay in the UK)
Do any of you have any experience of keeping horses in Spain and if so can you share your experience with me.
Thanking you
 
There is an overseas forum on here, there will be people on there who will know, good luck!
Personally I know two sets of people who moved north due to the heat, flies, and feeding.
