I've ordered the Paddock Paradise book and now eagerly awaiting it's arrival. In the meantime I've been pondering what are the disadvantages to using a track system? All I've read online so far raves it's a more natural and healthier way of keeping horses. But nothing in life is truly perfect. I'm assuming as the tracks get trashed and the grass disappears there will be a massive increase in hay costs. And the initial set-up and maintenance costs must be high considering so much more fencing is required than a couple acres paddock. Are there any other disadvantages to this kind of turn out? Anyone tried it and gone back to regular turn out?
