Have not read all replies however 1.5 acres seems a big area to have them on over summer? My two fatty ponies are literally in less than a quarter of an acre and are supplemented with a bit of soaked hay and straw. It would be extremely difficult to keep their weight down if they had free roam of 1.5 acres.
Does it? On that 1.5 acres though there is a 3 large stable block and a big hardcore area out the front (where their hay is in the winter) along with the corners fenced off slightly as trees growing so they wont actually get 1.5 acres of grass if that makes sense? They're probably realistically on 1 acre and thats two horses 15.3hh and 16hh. Never had any issue in previous years but they'd always lost weight over the winter which set them up fine for the summer.
