What this sheet is for

Track field rest and poo-picking, the two things that do most for horse grazing and that nobody records.

Who it is for

Owners with their own land, yards managing turnout and grazing groups.

How to use it

  1. Record on and off dates as they happen.
  2. Log poo-picking; it is the main worm control most horse owners have.
  3. Note field condition on leaving, not on arriving.
  4. Plan next year's rotation from this year's sheet.

What is on the sheet

One page, top to bottom:

Printed under the title: Which field, rested how long, poo-picked when, and topped or harrowed by whom.

Your ground, your adviser's figures. No rest periods or stocking rates are printed. Horse grazing management depends on your ground, your worm burden and how much land you have, and your vet or an adviser is the source. This records what you did.

Questions

How much land does a horse need?

No figure is printed. It depends on ground, drainage, climate, management and the horse, and stocking density is regulated in some places. Local advice beats a printable every time.
