Looking for some advice for my new horse - we are on a livery yard with lots of rich grass - around 2.5 acres for 2 ponies, one horse. Unable to make the paddock smaller currently as they are still galloping around sorting out the herd hierarchy. Could maybe make it smaller once everything has settled but that will be a couple of weeks at least.
They are out during the day and stabled between 5pm and 7.30am - is this enough to ward off lami for now? I know it is better to stable at night but that isn't really an option at the yard. I am soaking his hay when he is in. He hasn't had it before but he is an incredible good doer so I am on high alert. I am considering a grazing muzzle but I really don't think he would keep it on. What make grazing muzzles do you recommend?
Does anyone else turn out in the day time muzzleless? Am I just being a worry wart?
