As the days get longer and the weather gets warmer, it’s time to start thinking about turning your horses out to pasture. 🌱

Before you turn your horses out, make sure your pasture is ready for them:

1. Check for any holes or hazards that could potentially harm your horses.
2. Ensure that the grass is not too rich, as this can lead to digestive issues.
3. It’s also a good idea to have a water source readily available in the pasture.
4. Keep an eye on your horses as they adjust to being turned out.

Start by letting them out for short periods of time and gradually increase the length of time they spend outside. This will help prevent them from overeating or injuring themselves from too much excitement. 🐎

We asked leading landscape architect and horticulturist Marian Boswall what her dream garden for hens would look like:

“It would have lots of places to shelter, to roost and to scratch about, with some grains and seeds left on the plants and insects to discover. A piece of dry earth to create a bath and plenty of little spots with shallow water to drink.

“My chickens are in a wild patch where they can eat wild chamomile and clover, as well as grass.

“They are sheltered by trees, thistles, nettles and cow parsley which they have an occasional peck at too. We have a very busy sparrow hawk and buzzard population so I have a large 10x10m enclosure for five hens with a netted roof to stop them becoming big bird food!”
