Fat cob! How to slim him down?
My horse is only 4 and so not in hard work.
But he is FAT after a long summer break and a lot of spring grass! And even now he won’t lose weight! He isn’t fed or anything….just grass.
A simple training programme pleease
And he is only ridden about 3 or 4 times a week atm, in the school and on hacks.
Next summer – get a grazing muzzle! Makes life lots easier!
I would be feeding him a feed balancer, or offering a complete mineral lick (horse lyx do a great one) to make sure his diet is’t lacking in anything.
Anyhoo, to the matter in hand! I would be leaning more towards loose schooling than excessive riding as he is only young. Loose school for up to 1 hour a day. As with anything, introduce it gradually!
