INSTALL DAY! Bearfoot Ranch started building its *NEW* Paddock Paradise Track System which is a method of managing horses that mimics the natural environment of wild horses to promote movement and improve their health by creating a track around a pasture or paddock, often with varied terrain, obstacles and enrichment stations.
Wild horses can move 20 or more miles a day. Horses with full-time pasture access, like ours can travel an average of 5 miles per day. Our track system will encourage our horses to move from one enrichment station to another, promoting healthy weight, hoof wellness, natural herd social dynamics and behaviors, along with many more advantages over open pasture living.
Track systems also help pastures rest and grow, keeps horses from overgrazing and builds topsoil to hold water to produce more grass.
Another big advantage is it will be easier on our volunteers to distribute hay, change and fill waters and muck the area.
There are so many great things about a track system and we're so excited to install one.
If you want to help us build it, call 678-805-7433 today, we need lots of muscle!
