Mine are a bunch of spoiled rotten babies.  :))

 

I have four horses competing, all of my horses, including the young ones, older ones, and just plain, fat ones, spend time both outside and inside.  In the winter, they are all up at night, out during the day, in the spring/fall months they can spend some time out both day and night, and in the summer, they are up during the hot day time.  I have NO shade trees or shelters other than the barn.  This warrants them being in more than most horses.  They have plenty of pasture, and grass, hay out in front of them all winter, grass hay is fed, and they receive grain.

We can condition here at the house, (I live on a farm, so have fields/trails to ride), but for longer rides we haul 20 mins. to horse trails in the forrest.

 

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
