Spring is Here!!!

Spring is here! Although green pastures help reduce the need to purchase expensive hay, a horse needs to be transitioned slowly. They should be allowed to graze for an hour or so initially. Adding grazing time slowly (an hour or two each day) will reduce the impact the change in diet has on their gut and will decrease the risk of colic or founder. If restricting the actual grazing time is unfeasible, using a grazing muzzle can be the next best thingJ. Happy grazing!!!
