My 14. 1 cob is in a 1.6 ,acre field not much grass but enougth to keep her fat, on 2 handfuls of happy hoof and half a section of hay a day. I ride her twice a week she is fit and well. Wormed and egg counts done regularly. I had been shutting her in a corall with a stable over night , giving her a section of hay in a small whole net. She started to chew the new post and rail around the corall.
She does not crib bite or windsuck. I presumed she was getting hungary . So stopped shutting her in.
I have to watch her weight ,but I would like to save the field as well, by shutting her in at night.
Do you thing she needs a mineral lick ,if so have you any suggestions.
She will also chew the fence posts when on one acre in the spring , she will look well covered and the field looks like a bowling green.
Any Suggestions?
