The horses are finally being introduced back out into their fields!
Grass has a high sugar content and since our horses are off the grass over the winter, we slowly reintroduce their digestive systems to the pastures! They’re up to an hour of sweet grass time! And soon they’ll be out there for 12 hours a day! 😊 Happy spring everyone!
