Im moving to a new yard where my barefoot TB will have a half acre paddock to himself, but the grass is very lush and I dont want him gorging himself (when he gets a grass belly he gets gastric colic!) but I dont want to keep him in the stable too much. Any ideas? Maybe a paddock paradise type system?

Paddock paradise will be a great idea; I have my two ponies on half an acre with a track running around the outside; One fence is movable, so I strip graze them too, moving the fence about a foot each evening depending on the weather;

Saying that we've had hardly any rain so the grass hasn't grown as much as it usually does.

Or you could use a muzzle for a while until the grass is eaten down
