Well, a bit of a rant really, Foxy's field has been split, as they were put on summer fields and Foxy had turned into a balloon :o so, everything was OK, but YO wanted to move horses over to winter fields, to swap the 'roter' round (summer fields become winter fields and vice versa) And because Foxy's field has been split, there is a lot of grass un-eaten, and Foxy would pace if left on her own, so YO said she would put her 2 year old on one half of the un-eaten bit and another livery would put their horse on the other half. All was fine, but liverys horse is a pacer, and wrecks every field she goes in, so whenever I take Foxy out, she starts pacing, and other horse paces a bit too, not sure why though. So as each horse is seperated by an electric fence, they are pacing along the fence line, in the middle of Foxys field which she will need when she is moved back over there, next winter.

So until they move over to the new summer fields, the pace lines are gonna get worst. :mad: I'm going to have a word with YO to see what she can do but am getting quite annoyed :(

Choccy biscuits and coffee/tea if you got this far :D
 
So they are in the field that you will be in the winter?
That is annoying, if they trash it and it doesnt recover in time.
If they are taken out once the grass is eaten it may recovere by the time you go back in there?
Id have a chat with YO and explain your worried it will be trashed for when you need to go back in there.
Good luck :)

Yes they are, Foxy is in there too, but she doesn't pace, thats why im annoyed specially, if Foxy paced aswell, I would be as annoyed but the annoying part is that we've kept the field nice and tidy and now there wrecking it :mad: Hopefully it will recover in time, but as we've had a lot of rain, and forecast more, its now wet mud, which is even worst :(
