Squidey muddy bits in field - can anything be done?

Just wondered and didn't want to hijack Tegan's thread.
We've got poached bits around the gate where we tie up to groom, next to where the hay bales are and along the fence line where they "chat" to passersby.

Wood chip. Old straw bedding

What's rab? Would sand not get washed away or be just as squidgey?

Wood chip. Old straw bedding

Wood chip sounds like a plan, we don't have old straw bedding as they are out 24/7 field kept

Cheers girls!

Ha ha!

The good thing about it is it does dry up fairly quickly for clay soil when it's nice weather but it's all rutted and as soon as there's a hint of rain it goes boggy again

I have a very good land manager as my yard owner. I think she was a land girl during the war as she is amazing. But if she sees any chance at exchanging woodchip for manure she takes it. Excellent for muddy areas or marking out a school area in grass field

Do you mean she puts woodchip down or that she puts manure down? Sorry I'm having a thick night ha ha!
