Tucked up

[pixiebee]

My warmblood has been well covered over the winter with minimal feeding but since he has been out 24/7 (past 3 weeks) he has lost quite a bit of weight. He is on no hardfeed now as I anticipated the grass coming through and he gets a bit 'happy' but he looks a bit tucked up to me. You cant see his ribs but they are very easily felt and his bum is well covered, his work has increased and I think that he looks leaner as he is getting fitter but the grass doesnt seem to be coming through like I thaught it would. He does not look thin as such, just abit tucked up. I am wondering if I should start back on hardfeed or just sit tight and wait for the grass. I will try and get some pics up. Any thaughts?

Our grass is slow coming through, ours are free range and often come in for hay, I also give one feed a day, when the grass is through ours have to be brought in, so let your horse guide you

If there isn't much grass give him some hay. It won't be long before the grass will start, sunshine and showers guaranteed to give it a bump start soon.

Leave the hard feed & give some hay until the grass comes through
