This has to be the most frustrating month of the year! Winter still has its icy hold on us and it will be at least a couple of months before we can turn our horses out on to the good spring grass. But the days are noticeably longer, the nights shorter and there is a tantalising hint of spring in the air. The horses will be getting fed up with their lack of decent grazing and may be getting grouchy in the stable, chewing the woodwork and generally demonstrating that they would rather spring came sooner than later!

We have a good solution to their problem – in fact we have two!
