Ah, that earthy Spring smell is so good!
Here is just a quick update on boarder horses.
Barn horses: Willie
Horses are now on small square bales of hay (about 2 bales twice a day, occasionally up to 5 bales total a day). Access to fresh, free choice water, trace mineral block and shelter. In AM, feed barn grain to all horses except Tequila, Jackson, and Willie. Prince is now on barn grain and feed with the rest of the herd at the once daily AM feeding. Barn grain is feed at the rate of 10 lbs, put in 5 feed bins, per day. Barn grain is a mix of senior feed and a maintenance or all stock feed (about 50/50 ratio, hand mixed).
Barn horse (Willie) is out with the herd during the day. He gets 1/3 bale or as much as he can clean up on a normal night in his stall with trace mineral block and water. In PM, feed 1 scoop oats and one strip SmartPak, both supplied by owner. His stall is cleaned about 6 times a week with more bedding added 2x to 3x per week. His cribbing collar is usually on 24/7, but is currently off 27/7 by owner's request to allow a scrape on the neck where the the collar would sit to heal.
