I have horses that will soon be brought in to be stabled for the upcoming show season ( i'm in NZ) . I recently read an article reguareding stomach ulcers which blew me to the weeds when I learn how easy these are for the stabled horse to get. :new_shocked: My boys have been turned out to pasture for 3 months, 3 are a little heavy but that is fine for winter but one gelding ( they are all geldings) well he looks like a broodmare. So I would be stabling them at night, then on to a dry paddock and they would be getting 2 hours grass a day. So what would I need to feed them free access hay while in stables and dry paddock to stop them getting ulcers? If so would they get get big hay bellies? And should I feed grain as well and pasture? What feeding program do you experienced show people out there feed your show horses? In NZ we don't have a specific miniature horse feed that I have found. Suggestions would be much appreciated! :new_shocked:
