Advice needed please. I have a very overweight Horse having moved yards a few months ago. He was turned out on mud through the winter but at the new yard is now in a lush summer field 24/7 and has ballooned. He is now quite lame and I think the weight is causing stifle problems.I need to get him off the grass to try and lose some weight but the livery yard will not allow strip grazing and there are no other options but this field. I am considering stabling during the night but the stable is quite small so will not allow much movement and I am concerned about his stifle. Muzzling isn't an option as he would be left unwatched for 12 hours and I wouldn't want to risk it plus its a long time with no food.Exercise wise, he is 20+ and retired so only exercise is roaming the field. I cannot even consider lungeing due to the lameness.Any suggestions other than moving yards which isn't an option?
