Edit- we are moving them to the new barn april 1st.
First time ever posting here but I have hit a wall on what to do. I need peoples opinions. Should I move our 3 horses or not? They are currently at a barn where one is turned out every other night and 2 are currently outside 24/7.There are no grass pastures just a smaller dry lot or mud type lot when its wet.We are paying 1200 a month currently. They get feed a 12% grain twice a day and fed two flakes of a alfalfa mix hay twice a day. There is little sawdust in the stalls, just enough to absorb some of the pee and poo that said horse produces. They are a lesson barn so the arena is not available usually after 3pm every day besides Thursday. My main rodeo mare is losing weight. One of the only reason we are there is because they host giant payback shows once a month and other little jackpots. The barn I am deciding on moving to is a quiter barn that horses get turned out evey day on a 10 acre grass pasture (mares and geldings separated on another 10 acre grass pasture) their stalls are bedded deeper and they are fed a tribute grain. But the thing is that they dont have shows monthly or the jackpots. We would pay 870 a month instead of 1200 with all 3 horses inside. |

I'd move. I'm all for horses being turned out on real grass. |

We are moving them April 1st to the new barn. It has 20 acres of grass pasture, a indoor, 2 outdoors and 2 round pens. Horses go out every day and are in during the night. |
