I've just moved to somewhere where I can keep my two boys (horse and companion pony) at home, so I'm suddenly faced with making decisions about stuff which has always been decided for me before.
I've put my muck heap somewhere quite a long distance from the field they are currently in, so I've been poo picking into a heap in their current field to then move it to the main heap later (we got a tractor with the house so this should be okay). Anyway, I've just taken down my strip grazing fence so they now have access to this small muck heap and I wasn't sure whether it should be fenced off? They seem to avoid grazing nearby, plus the pony (who was gelded late) tends to poo on it which is handy so I'd prefer not to, but is it pointless to poo pick if the horses have access to the pile?
