[QUOTE="Kiwi Pete, post: 5041724, member: 63856"] Completely 100% agree, "horse damage" is a time related issue, so time will cure it via different management techniques. Maybe they could be "fenced" and "backfenced" even with ropes, just to prevent all that regrowth pruning that seems to go hand-in-hand with horse grazing practice? A good example of what goes wrong, really: no recovery continuous regrazing next to no groundcover root-pruning, which hurts stressed plants even more.. all so horses don't colic. Rather than having whole paddocks subjected to it, aim to keep that "hammered" area small, and [I]changing[/I] would be my suggestion.. soil and plants like ocassional stress, but not [I]chronic stress.[/I] [/QUOTE]
