The boy are out Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday from 8.30 to 4. The field is a bit of a mud patch but there is still some grazing but I do put out hay in the morning.

I actually kept them in this Sunday as it was such a horrible day and Cairo would have sulked by the gate.

On days they don't go out they have an hour in the school in the morning and a couple more in the evenings.

If it was less muddy I would like every day turnout, but the boys seem happy with their four days.
 
We've got a muddy square about 1/3 acre that we can T/O in for a couple of hours (as long as there aren't any lessons in the school because it upsets the lesson horses is someone's crazy TB is charging about

)

doesn't sound great but actually it is alright, my mare doesn't need a lot of T/O and we have a horse walker. Our fields are like bogs at the moment. Thinking of taking up rice growing...
 
Our turnout has held up until now, its starting to bog up in the gateways, however it will only have to last until march then I will move up to the spring pastures - Its still better than no turn out at all!
 
My two get turned out 12 hours a day. Holly will wait at the gate or come to call but Blue and the other two boys i get in of a night are a bit thick and prefer not to walk through the swamp that is now the field so i dread having to slip and slide and stagger across it to go and get them, i end up using them to hold me up cos of the amount of times i almost fall over and i get soaked from them splashing me!

Out all day every day in a decent sized field. Bit muddy and low on grass but its not bare and its not a swamp.

Its still ridge and furrow so it drains really well!

Its a "winter" field and gets left all summer to recover, and as soon as the fields dry in spring, we can move them and create lots of paddocks here, there and everywhere to rotate the rest so we don't get too much / too little grass.

Works just fine for our 3 monsters.

(Oh and its not our land, they are lawnmowers for a farmer who has no livestock)
 
we have our own fields and stables, 24 hour turnout, or we can bring them in if we want. were knee deep in mud, but not much we can do about it at the moment.
 
Our field is dismal !! No grass but it's not really boggy - think more like soup !!! It's a full livery yard and I love everything else about it.......... Mine are out 8-4 ish every day. We have had some hay put out but I'm not too impressed.
