I've ben trying to ask this question since for weeks but I can never logon (I followed all the cookie directions and tried Firefox and IE). Anyone else have trouble with this board?
I've had my 2 little guys for 5 months.
I have 1 acre pasture. They have eat the grass as sson as it comes up so there is hardly any grass in the pasture. My back yard has plenty of grass so I let the horses out on a lounge line for 45 min to an hour every morning.
Its been great becasue they now let me brush them and clean their feet and come to me easy becasue they know they get to go into the green area.
I'm worried about them getting too much. Is an hour good? Is it enough? I'd like to let them out another hour in the evening but I worry it will be too much. If one hour a day has been OK when can I go to two hours? I was told they need more time in a grassy area in the fall?
They eat 1 cup feed in the morning and 1 cup in the evening each. They eat a flick of hay (not alfalfa) each night between them and a few treats daily. They are not thin at all.
The pasture has been grubbed to death- if I don't keep them off it for a while I don't think I'll have grass.
Here is an image of pasture and yard
Thanks,
