Quick Tip #22--Be Careful of Early Spring Founder



Be very careful abut letting horses eat all they want of spring plants that are just coming to life in this part of the country. All of the plants are higher than normal in the sugar that can lead to founder and colic during this time of the year.

I let my horses graze only about twenty minutes a day for the next few weeks until their bodies acclimate to the new foliage and until the sugar level goes down.
