Okay so this was at the end of January, now the fields are like the Sahara Desert 🏜
Don't panic folks apparently rain is on the way! 💦 (But not too much we hope, just enough to soften the fields would be great Mr Weather Man 😁...)

Sooooo sick of the rain the fields can't take anymore....😭

Is your horse a good doer, are you considering setting up a track system? Baileys Horse Feeds are sharing some useful information below about a track system and the Pros and Cons of having one...

⚠️ R𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘀𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗦𝗢 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱-𝗱𝗼𝗲𝗿𝘀, 𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗹𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝘄𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁. 🤗

Grass can be a rich source of calories, it typically has a higher Digestible Energy content than hay or haylage. In the spring and early summer months, it grows more rapidly and produces higher levels of water soluble carbohydrates like sugars and fructans, which provide readily available calories for the horses. 🌞

𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗧𝗥𝗔𝗖𝗞 𝗦𝗬𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗠:
Place an inner fence (usually electric taping) in the centre of the paddock to form a 'track' between this fence and the outer perimeter, which encourages more movement as the horse navigates round the track to eat. 😎

A wider track may be required for larger number of horses, to reduce the chance of more dominant horses cornering others on tighter tracks. Adding enrichment, like logs, scratching posts, cones or trotting poles, can help to increase movement and interest. Place alternative forage options like hay or haylage around the track to keep your horse moving. 🏃‍♀️

𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗦:
✅ Encourages movement and increased exercise compared to traditional strip grazing methods
✅ Horses may be able to be turned out for longer periods
✅ Allows for social interaction with other horses
✅ Underweight horses can potentially be grazed on the inner section to allow a higher calorie intake whilst still being able to see their companions on the outer track

𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗦:
❎ May be less effective at encouraging weight loss as total grazing area may still be large
❎ May increase bullying within the herd
❎ Track area may become muddy and new grass growth may be reduced
