Horses tend not to gallop around and play unless they’ve just been released from their stable. So my horses and pony mostly walk around their paddock or over to the water tank. As my grazing management improves the quality of forage the horses could get fat as well as bad health issues. This technique of small paddock grazing prevents over eating.
