Would be nice to have these especially with having ponies in the same pasture(s) as horses since ponies tend to be easier keepers. Would like to muzzle the little chunks so I wouldn't have to always mow my pastures down to nothing to keep them fit.

I laughed so hard at this it's not even funny. But it would be cool to have something like this!

On behalf of my Shetlands and easier-keeping horses: yes x 12 (at least).

EXACTLY what's going on w/ mine. All my shetlands get heavy so quick, especially when I'm not exercising them like just give me a break little beasts.

It's really a huge pain. I tried keeping their field mowed but I could never find the right equilibrium; either they were to fat or too thin.

Haha I'm trying to tell myself it gets easier but it doesn't

daily maintenance, daily monitoring, checking pasture's grass quality checking how much they're eating and exercising them all
