I am having completely different opinions thrown my way at my livery yard and with tink being my first horse I am not sure what to do.
When I got her 6 months ago she was crazy obese! She is now looking great, lost a lot of weight and is much fitter too!
ATM she is out for 8 hours max per day and only has 9lbs of hay per night. I was ok with this until recently, now we are doing a lot more work and my YO has decided to drop her to 8lb of hay per night and I am worried this will not be enough for her.
I have given her safe and sound before to get some suppliments into her but unfortunately she was very difficult to handle then! Now she is doing a lot more work she might be better??
One of the my friends thinks she should be on some kind of hard feed and more hay where as the YO thinks she should have absolutely nothing other than this 8lb of hay per night.
I need opinions!
She is a 15hh welsh cob, nearly 7 and we are hacking most week days and doing an hours hard schooling both days at the weekends. She is still dropping her weight (her girth has gone up another hole or two again) and building muscle. What do you think she should be on??
