I am trying to consolidate horses before winter so I can feed from inside the barn and not be out so often in very bad weather.I have 2 very docile stallions.Each has been in a seperate small paddock.I has been next to 1 mare on a side and 2 mares on another side.No problem there.The other has been next to a gelding and very close to a mare. I am thinking about putting the stallions next to each other for a few weeks then together.There would be 3 mares and a gelding in the field next to them.If I leave the one stallion where he is he will be isolated and his nearest horses will be about 50 feet away, but still in sight.I have an old dairy barn with lots of sheds attached so I can go in the barn, feed and be out of bad weather.I have 3 mares with Cushings on daily meds, so I can't move them to another field.Any thoughts from anyone will be greatly appreciated.
