Spring Means Grass for the Horses!

By

Although the rain has been annoying to say the least, it has come with a lovely side benefit- there is a plethora of fresh grass for the horses to graze on! Things to remember: Spring grass is high in sugar, so it should be fed in limited amounts- usually no more than 20 minutes of grazing per day.

First, we put in two yards of gravel and sand underneath Quixote and Lou Dillon's stalls to help level them out and raise them a little. There is an underground spring that will sometimes bubble up after the rain, and while they are on stall mats with shavings, the stalls have gotten a little cattywampus, and our hope too was that we could raise the stalls just above the water table … [Read more...]
