With no warning they're spreading lime on my horses' fields today. I've taken the horses into the yard but do I have to keep them off the pasture for any length of time?
Lime on pasture - do horses need to be off for a while?

Yes.. Lime burns!
Cows have a small amount of lime put in cubicles, But too much and they get burns on there udders!

Thanks, Nailed - so keep them off till it's rained, as with other fertilisers, then?

If its LimeX then no, its quite safe to graze on. I rang LimeX for advice and there is no restrictions on it for grazing.
Rain wont wash it in as its slow release so mine is still sitting on the soil 6 weeks after it was applied.
