Winter turnout, diet and hooves

We have turn out again! It's a different field that turned out to be available for us. It's fabulous to see them out and I am just keeping everything crossed this grass is "empty" enough not to cause them any feet issues.
It seems like having barefoot horses comes with a constant worry ;) At least when you are a beginner barefoot carer!
On one hand I am delighted they have the movement opportunity and mental heaven but I am dreading the aftereffects too.

Kingsley's and Pocholo's diet is very simple. They are both on Speedibeet (more info on the type we use HERE) and on the following supplements:

- Magnesium Oxide
- Brewers Yeast
- Micronized Linseed
- Seaweed
- Garlic with Mint

After speaking to Kate on Friday the plan was to to start both boys on a feed stuff that will help with muscle build up and the choice was a handful of oats for Pocholo directly after harder exercise and Lysine supplement for Kingsley in his meal. As Pocholo will be going I will keep him on what he is having right now as don't want to make changes to his diet before a demanding journey and change of lifestyle that awaits him. I am sure once he is in Spain his diet will be adjusted to what it needs be.

I've been reading up on the Lysine supplements and I am intrigued as the info ranges from people swearing by it and those who say it made no difference.
We are experimenting with Kingsley here because he needs more strength and muscle power without any additional energy content.

The weather is so mild I wonder how it affects their metabolism and hooves too. There was 15C yesterday and not much colder today. What's in the grass when January behaves like March?
I saw a butterfly outside my window couple of days ago...
