In order to avoid colic in your horses it is best practice to move your horses gradually to fresh pasture.
Turning out your horse into the new pasture for one hour a day at first, and then gradually building up the hours to a full day, will ensure that your horse’s digestive system can become accustomed to the high nutritional content of fresh grass.
Moving a horse into a new paddock too quickly can potentially cause harmful bouts of grassy colic, which can be extremely painful for the animal.
