Wish the weather was still as nice as this, another horse track system done up in Pontypridd.
🌾 Benefits of a Horse Track System in a Field
🧠 Encourages Natural Movement
• Promotes fitness, muscle tone, and circulation without forced exercise.
• Reduces the risk of stiffness, obesity, and laminitis.
🌱Better Pasture and Land Management
• Horses are kept off the main pasture, preventing overgrazing and soil compaction.
• The central area can recover and regrow, used for rotational grazing or hay.
💩Easier to Manage Manure and Footing
• Manure tends to accumulate in predictable places, making cleanup easier.
• With proper drainage, track systems stay cleaner and drier than traditional paddocks.
🦶 Healthier Hooves and Joints
• Constant movement on varied surfaces helps naturally wear hooves.
• Encourages stronger, more resilient hooves and improves balance.
• Reduces risk of stocking up, arthritis, and other circulation-related issues.
🍎 Controlled Feeding and Weight Management
• You can place hay stations, slow feeders, and water points around the track to keep horses moving.
• Helps prevent overeating and obesity, especially in easy keepers or laminitis-prone horses.
💰 Cost-Effective in the Long Run
• Less pasture damage and reduced feed waste.
• Lower vet bills due to fewer metabolic or hoof issues.
• Potentially less labor than managing multiple small paddocks.
