TheEquine |: "Age, health and the state of your horse’s teeth are important considerations when assessing condition and seasonal fluctuations in grass quality will also affect his condition. This year, with such wet conditions many events and competitions have been cancelled due to heavy going, and so many competition horses are not in work as much as they usually are.
If you are concerned that your horse is in danger of becoming too fat, take action before health and fitness problems develop. Consider restricting his grazing, either by stabling him for part of the day or just putting him out at night, or using electric fencing to control the grazing area he has access to. Maintaining a fitness training programme to compensate for the extra calories he is consuming will also help. "
