Re: Problem with stall walking mare

["Susan Garlinghouse" <suendavid@worldnet.att.net>]

Hiya Meaghan,
It won't solve any anxiety issues she may be having, but I would definitely
provide her with free-choice grass hay instead of pellets---the pellets are
just too easy to slurp up in 20 minutes, and hay will give her something to
do besides walk the fence.

Good luck,
Susan G

> my mare has been stall walking for that last few month from bordom. she
gets turn out on good days. she is in a pasture by herself but between two
horses. she has worn two good size holes in her stall forcing me to mat it.
she also has worn a path between the gate and one of the other horses near
her. her pasture has no gras and i dont believe any will grow. she is now on
a flake of hay out side and two at dinner. three qts of pellets a day plus
some suplements. i was thinking of lowering her grain and giving her more
hay. she is a show horse and as the weather improves she will be ridden
harder and longer. anyone have any thought to what i should do? please
e-mail me i wont check the site.
