I wondered if anyone had thoughts/suggestions on this please ?
DC pony keeps getting a messy bum and messy back legs and tail due to water. Her poo is fine but it's as if she is constantly in season
vet just said 'it's the grass' but this has been going on since October. I have to clean her legs, tail and bum every other day. It can't just be the grass surely ?
She has been on the same yard for 2.5 years and is aged 18 years. I do have the nutritionist coming in a few weeks to see if we need to tweak he diet again but open to other thoughts too
vet suggested Gut Sponge, I'm not convinced it's making any difference though
No ulcers or anything either

Hmm thank you both. I wonder if I should swap to haylage. She has soaked hay due to a dust allergy but I have never thought to try haylage as it's more expensive. Maybe that's an option and/or some oat straw too
Thanks I might try that whilst awaiting nutritionist
