Hi all
I'm a bit panicked as due to a miscommunication , my horse has been fed 3 days worth of feed in 1 night . He is at a trainers . I am worried about colic. Does anyone know what is best to do? Thanks

Walk him around. If he seems bright and is pooing OK then he'll probably be fine.

My horse broke out of his stable one night when he was in livery (he was a genius at undoing bolts) and helped himself to at least ten breakfasts and a pile of hay 😳. We walked him around for about an hour until he poo’d but he was absolutely fine- and obviously feeling very pleased with himself …

Yeah mine once ate a third of a sack of unsoaked fast fibre. He was totally fine, thankfully
