No reason to this other than I know you will have some sympathy/eperience/possible suggestions for me so get comfy.
My retired 17 year old 13.2 highland is currently in a seven acre field which is split 5/2 acres.
He’s a very good doer and his weight is always a concern. Occasionally muzzled when things get very bad. It’s grass only and no tap or stables. Super basic. His field buddy up until last week as a shire x cob also amazingly good doer. She has recently dropped off quite a lot so she went over into the five acres to do some catching up.
All fine so far except the woman in charge she sub lets it to us has said the splitting fence has to come down due to the field getting poached. It’s really not badly poached at all. Well drained flat chalk land.
The other two horses are retired TBs. Who obviously need ad lib hay.
If the fence comes down mine will camp by the hay boxes. The field won’t be any less poached. The TBs will potentially get less hay! No good can come of it. The fence has been up for a year and has worked so well. I have no clue what to do except try to find somewhere more suited to a hardy fatty. Really hate moving but can’t communicate with this woman much as I really have tried. Sad

hope you can find a solution. Barmy YOs are the worst, I had a proper loopy one once, drove me to a renting a sole use yard lol.
