Hi, new and a question about field management

[Witters]

Hi,
We have just bought over our two horses to our new paddocks adjoining our home. All is great, but I am still in search of the best way to deal with manure management. We plan to have them out 24/7, so it is neat manure, without any bedding etc. How is the best way to manage this with two horses?
Many thanks!

Presumably you are referring to the poo you collect when you are poo picking? If you have enough space to heap it, and enough land to graze some and rest some, get a local farmer or contractor to spread it once it has been in a ruck for several months. Improves your soil and fertility but will take a few months to be taken down into the soil, so ideally you need to rest the spread part for some months (mine is spread after we take the hay crop off in July and not grazed until winter).
If you can't heap, spread and rest, then heap it and donate it to local gardeners, they are mostly very glad of it if it is well rotted.
