Hi all, hoping you can give me some impartial advice. I've got a 22 yo retired connie, he retired 18 months ago. He's always been a good doer but with exercise and stabling overnight as well as turnout in a fairly bare paddock has always been fine, never shown any lami signs. Anyway when I first retired him we stayed at the same yard but as they only allow individual turnout he seemed to be getting a bit bored so I moved him to a retirement yard where he was very happy hanging with his new buddies and out 24/7 all year round. Problem was there was so much grass he's totally exploded in size then they moved him onto even fresher grazing with lots of clover and I panicked so moved him to a track system. He's been there 3 weeks and everyday has a new bite mark, the track is not poo picked ( I was told that this was as some machine had broke but it's been 3 weeks now) and they get so much hay he's not losing any weight. I definitely don't think this is a long term place for us but finding all year 24/7 turnout without lush grass seems nearly impossible so how much of a rush would you guys be in to move him if he was yours?
