Hello all,
Been ages since I've posted but found myself walking up the fields last night on terra firma instead of terra soggy.
Made me wonder how long before the grass starts to come through again, and whether its going to get wetter before it improves. We put ditches in before winter arrived so our fields are so much drier than usual but I do like to keep the horses in at night as long as the grass is still poor. They usually start coming in when the clocks go back and out in May when the grass is well and truly coming through.
This year however I'm thinking I might start to put hay out at night when the clocks change (only a week to go, HOORAY!!) on the trash paddock - if its not gone back to being soggy!
Whats everyone else doing? Do you have a preferred time of year for 24/7 turnout or do you just leave it til its definitely very dry
