Poached field

[Gri200]

Hi. My 2 are on a progressively soggy field and have been living out on this since sept (24/7) with hay to supplement. I now have access to another field. It hasn’t been grazed since sheep were on it early summer so the grass is very green (in comparison to current field) and relatively long (in horse terms) at about 6”. Am I best moving them to the new field which is not muddy but will the volume and length of grass mess with their digestion as they have been used to slimmer pickings and hay?? I couldn’t restrict access very well in the new field. What would you do??

Can you restrict them in terms of time, so maybe let them in there during the day and bring them back onto the poached field at night? Personally I wouldn't be letting them on it at all now until it's dried up a little or they'll just trash the rested field.
