[RC] this post has NOTHING to do with LD ;) --feed changes at rides - Benedikte WhitmanOn the same topic - difference in feeding at rides - what about grazing? My horses are dry lotted and fed hay at home. I know that you need to transfer horses to pasture slowly to accustom them to the change and prevent complications like laminitis. Then, I go to a ride and let my horse graze along the trail for 6 - 8 hours and I wonder if the exercise he is getting helps to prevent problems or if I should not be allowing that? Also, what if I set up a corral at a ride where it is all grassy and he grazes there all night - could that be a problem?
