We have an 11 yr old Peruvian Paso mare who "somehow" got about 150 or so lbs overweight on green bermudagrass pasture and about 9-12" of bermudagrass hay per day. We gradually reduced her hay to about a 3" flake and then discontinued the hay, leaving her only on the green bermuda pasture.
She is essentially "inactive" with little exercise.
Question: What is your opinion on this "treatment?" Will the absence of a "little" hay create a risk of colic? Or, will she be ok. And, about how long will it take her to get back to normal weight.
Thanks!
