Hi, as we are moving home I had to find a new yard for my girl near the new place and have found my dream after so many years she can finally be out 24/7 during the summer months I am so looking forward to it for her sake. BUT how do I best introduce her to it? Where we are they have been out over night and in during the day for a few weeks. Grazing is pretty bad as we just don't seem to have enough land here. She also has just had 10 days in hospital as she needed to have a few scans. She will be off work for the next 6 weeks and just turned out.
Do I need to be careful with the new field/different grass (potentially more of it) ? Would you just turn her out when we arrive or give her time in the stable? The latter is more difficult as everything will be out so she would be alone which she doesn't like. Other thought was to get them to section off a small paddock for her for a few days for settling in/ getting used to the grazing.
What would you do?
After what I have been through with her lately I really dont want to risk any other problems grass related or possible kicking..
