As expected really (I thought I might get away with it, not sure why :lol:) The Beast has ballooned again in a normal field with normal grass. Its a nice field and the grass is lots of different types and not fertilised so it not dire but she has put on a few kgs again. So I need to restrict. Quickest and easiest is to Strip graze and I'll do this immediately (Just waiting on yard giving me some fencing stuff, hopefully today or tomorrow). Ultimately though I think a track would be better, to encourage more movement. Obviously not going to be an awesome "proper" track in a livery yard field but basically a way to reduced grazing but not movement (I don't like the small paddock aspect of Strip grazing). Field is about 2 or 3 acres. Rectangle. I was thinking 5m wide along long edges and 10m wide along short edges? For two horses. Does that sound reasonable? Then graze the centre in winter. Any thoughts?

Strip graze or track?
