For various reasons, I will be moving from my current livery yard with 4 horses on 6 acres to a yard closer to home. Although this yard has lots of facilities - menage, horse walker and lunge pen, you are only allocated a field of approximately 0.5 acre per horse. This means both of mine will go in together and I will alternate fields. This is absolutely fine in the summer, the less grass the better, I'd rather top up with hay as I have a horse with cushings and an extremely good doer native. My concern is that in the winter they will have nothing but mud in their field.
Anyone else manage horses on such little grazing and still turn them out during the day in winter?
