Yesterday I let our two holiday-makers out into the bigger, but still small, top paddock which had been grazed by five ponies overnight. I turned them out with the donkeys and Henrietta and my most peace-loving ponies Patsy and Pie, making seven in total. Although the grass looks short, it is this short, dry, stressed grass that can cause the most problems for laminitic ponies and so I brought them in again once the poo-picking had been finished. I shall monitor the results before turning them out again.
