I am moving yards in a couple of weeks and have the opportunity to turn out at night and bring in during the day which would better suit my routine and I think would be better for Bud as he is bothered by the flies and hopefully they wont be as bad. My current yard is famous for not having any grass and the new place has quite a bit of it, they have offered me a slightly grazed down paddock for him but I also thought the night turn out would be better for this too. He is not grossly overweight (could may be do with a bit more off but working on that with ridden work) but I am still worried about him and the dreaded L word. He will be out from about 7am-7pm. Do I muzzle at night or leave him? Should I soak his hay for when he is in during the day (though he is quite fussy and will only eat what he wants so not sure how soaked hay will go down!) Hard feed wise he is just on a token amount of Topchop Zero, light balancer and salt. I keep him clipped with covercote blades all year round so he has a little covering but should I pop a fly rug on him at night?
Any advice for making the switch would be appreciated
