I have a 6yr Mare, Irish Sports Horse. Through the winter she works well and is responsive and forward going. She is out through the day and in at night in the winter. The problem is in the spring/summer when she is turned out onto the spring grass. She develops a bit of a grass belly and becomes quite lazy and sloppy. Why is this? If anything i thought she'd be more fizzy! Any suggestions would be good as i find that riding her at the moment is a tad frustrating!
