Well, it’s spring and the grass starting to grow like crazy. The might be the horse’s favorite time of the year — the grass is lush and tender and grows faster than they can eat it.
It’s important during this time of year to make sure that you don’t let your horses get too fat, though. All of that lush grass can increase their risk of founder. We make sure to limit the amount of time they have on the choicest grass and confine them to dry lot for much of the day. Regular exercise (for both the horse and rider) is also helpful.
