Has anyone ever experienced issues with excessive leaf litter in grazing?
Or can it adversely effect the horses diet?
At present I currently have 2 horses on ~ 7 acres of good grazing, but only about half an acre of this is free from leaf litter, because the entire boundary is made up of mature trees of every variety, and plenty more interspersed throughout the fields.
The half an acre that does not have heavy leaf litter has the poorest quality grass because none of the land is fertilised .. and yet they will always graze this short and almost bare before moving onto the rest of the paddock.
