We have surface water and ground water issues. Basically, with the seasonal creek that flows across our property there is a lot of water. If they were out there, not only would their fields be a total quagmire, but they could get hurt slipping and sliding around in the mud. Also the mud they'd generate would promote some serious foot issues like thrush and such. If we were on "drier" property and had bigger fields I'd turn them out all year round. So when the rain stops and there is some dry down time I can turn them out and they will have grass in the field and won't be wallering. :)Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01851909774982026207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-853405681241979670.post-40414585907456894022010-01-26T11:00:02.864-08:002010-01-26T11:00:02.864-08:00Ok, this is foreign to me in a way.

Our horses started eating the poles holding up the horse shelter, so I intervened by installing a heavy duty wire mesh over the poles, also the big cottonwoods in the pasture. Problem solved! How come you confine them? Ours weather out in rain snow, and everything in between.They like a good mud hole, although cleaning them up for a ride is sometimes a nusance.

Jon has already started logging his complaints about my future horse. He says it is just one more thing for him to take care of. Your post here reminds me that at some point I will need his help in the caring of the horse, cause I have no wood skills. :/ Gotta think on this and figure out a good negotiation with him.Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01216580106264628759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-853405681241979670.post-61772092173285537862010-01-26T07:35:14.221-08:002010-01-26T07:35:14.221-08:00What causes this beside boredom?
