[QUOTE="rob1, post: 6285756, member: 332"] find someone who is trusted by fellow horse owners to tell you what you need doing, firstly as has been said some lime and or calcified seaweed to bring the PH up to 6.5 and to sweeten the land, then kill the weeds and in mid august spread some grass seed on it. it could need compaction removing but you need to dig some holes to check or just aerating with a spiked roller. The only long term answer is to keep the horses off when its wet, as you have found this time wet ground with horses on is very expensive to correct and far more than buying extra hay, a couple of sand based areas for them to have a roll is far cheaper they only need to be about three times the size of a decent stable so they can have a roll and get wet and cold so want toget back in their stable [/QUOTE]
