As the title says really, just wondered. Have moved Josh to another paddock so he is on his own now (he got kicked) so I'm seeming to do every couple of days now rather than the paddock being done every day as it was when we shared.
 
I have individual paddocks for both my horses, i poo pick them both once a week. Archie only gets turned out around twice a week for the whole day, the rest of the time he goes out for about an hr a day if possible so there is never much in his field. Blossy goes out every other day.
 
We have 2 in our paddock we try to do it daily, but at the moment we can not get out to the field due to flooded fields so they have not been done for over a week, not looking horse sick though as they poo in one small area
 
our fields are harrowed!!.....although i used to poo pick on old yard, i did this twice a day!! the horses were sectioned of into individual parts so only had my 2 to do!!
 
In the summer because they are strip grazed on fairly small areas they are poo picked twice aday. In the winter when they are on big fields I don't poo pick, the fields are harrowed.
 
In sumer I aim to do it every day, but don't always get round to it (especially when its pouring down

). I don't poo-pick in winter, or whenever they're in the big field.
 
5 acres with four naglets poo-picked daily, whatever the weather, and we rarely need to worm, so worth the effort.
 
Every other day... he's only out half a day in the week and all day on weekends tho and in a small strip grazed patch....

But if I left it any longer I would never make it back up the hill to the muck heap with the barrow of poo!!!!
 
Basically ours are on full livery monday-friday and so they get done every day. Then at the weekends we also do this, so every day for us
 
Never. All my fields are large and all are harrowed regularly. The corrals aren't picked either however none of the horses graze in them - hay is fed in the corrals.

Can you imagine how much poo 40 plus horses generate?
We rest fields, harrow them and worm..

ETS we poo pick twice daily
 
Hmmm - did Josh's paddock last night, for the first time since Sunday pm. NOW I remember why one should poo pick daily - the wheelbarrow was overflowing

Send the child out on the quad and trailer with a bucket and rubber gloves every day to do the smaller paddocks. She also harrows the bigger paddock for me too, anything to get out on the Quadly!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
I have to poo-pick everyday since my boy's out 24/7 with 3 others whose owners don't seem to bother at all!!! It's especially annoying since I'm out every evening in the p*ssing rain at the mo!
 
erm, whe he's in his own paddock then 3 times a week. When he's in with his buddies they tend to spread it round (they're lambs) so poo picking is difficult. so that gets poo picked about once a month for the worst of it, and is harrowed too.
 
After years of back breaking poo shovelling and pushing a wheelbarrow uphill across muddy fields, have now moved to a yard with a posh poo sweeper/vacuum thingy, HEAVEN!
 
Once a week (ish, sometimes more if I have time) over the summer as they are in a large paddock. Winter I don't at all as they are turned out on the stubble which is a huge field and gets ploughed up every spring. They are wormed. The sheep go on the summer grazing come the autumn for about a month before it gets really horrible then it is rested again till late spring.
 
Only have time to do a good blitz once a week, but hardly gets bad during the week-approx-4-5 wheelbarrows at the weekend-ours are in during the day and out at night during the summer.
Now my sister has broken up-I have made her do a mid-week sesh.
