Does anyone graze their horses in a field with a duck pond? Is it fenced? If not have the horses ever got in?
There is a pond close to the corner of one of my fields. I'm just wondering whether to fence it off. If the horses got in they could get out again but they would soon wreck the bank side if they made a habit of it! Just wondering what people's experiences are of horses taking a dip of their own volition! I have not had the water tested but I will - I expect its clean; the fish, plants and fowl are thriving.
