So what's the Simon secret reason for 90 days? And I promise, I won't tell anyone!!!!  |
No secret really, just I would rather give her extra time away than bring her back a few weeks too soon. The best way I have found to determine the amount of time is to monitor the horse while turned out and bring her in when you think she is ready to come in. Some horses dont do well turned out and others do too well (get fat). But I believe that we will wait and revisit this subject at the end of the month.
