I have access to a 3/4 acre paddock for the summer for one horse (there are other paddocks with other individual turnout horses around my one). It has electric fencing around the outside of the paddock already so am looking at ideas for splitting it to try and make the grass last. I am thinking of just splitting it in half and grazing in two weeks slots. I know if we have the horrendously dry summer we had last year that I will not have sufficient grass cover throughout, but I will supplement with hay as needed towards the end of summer / autumn. Is there anything else I should be thinking of?
