Muddy Field Advice Please

[lizijj]

Hi, it's that time of year again... can no longer put it off... time to put Haylage out. We have a round feeder, and naturally it gets really deep in mud around it. I have read somewhere about straw matting to help, any one have any ideas or advice for this? I have one horse who suffers from mud fever, and as they live out 24/7 would be grateful of any tips. The field shelter is also getting poached, so any advice there good too.

Thanks

RE the mud fever, use Muddy Marvel barrier cream. Fab stuff.

For the poached areas, can you put down some hardcore?

I've been meaning to research fieldmats, but I haven't got around to it yet. Does anyone have them? Are they any good?
