A horse that can only eat 1.1 kg but eats fine in a pasture?
Hello, I have thins horse I bought, and apparently they can only have 1.1 kg. Wen she is in a pasture, then she overeats and can have a lot more much food then she can have in a barn. Does this mean she will have to be constantly switched from barn to pasture all the time?
Please help!

Yes, because a competition horse needs to maintain certain weight and temperaments to perform at their best. No, because being overweight or underweight doesn't affect a horse that's not competing.
It's a problem that admin needs to look at further. But because of that, we also enjoy the fact that no horse can die from starvation or obesity.

If she's a competition horse, you can try to keep her weight at a fair area by mowing the pasture instead of constantly moving her. Or, simply put her in a frozen account until her competition career is over with.
But again, if she's not a competition horse, don't stress too much over it. Leave her in the pasture and breed her for that next generations.
