Some people who live down the road appear to be shutting up their ponies at night with the top doors shut, also the windows.
Usually, the ponies are out in field with access to their stables during the day, but this morning I had to do the school run earlier & noticed they were shut in. I suppose it may be a one off, but I'm a bit concerned for their long term breathing implications if they are kept in this way. One of the ponies has rain scald despite being rugged & unclipped & stabled at night & I'm now wondering if this is to do in part with the lack of ventilation.
Do I interfere or say nothing? The mums who own them are nice ladies, just novice owners who rode as kids. (I was asked to look at the rain scald). They may not appreciate a nosey neighbour.
