WINTER TURNOUT heellppppp

[Jessie...]

Hey guys.
I am new to this and have just come along for all you wonderful people to help me.
sooo..

We have 17 horses
with
2 paddocks of 2.5 acres each (soil is very good)
1 paddock of 2 acres with good grass converage at the moment.
1 field ok 5 acres
and 1 ffield of 7 acres.

I would idealy like every other day turnout
and am happy to section fields into small paddocks for 2/3 horses.
All hores get on together
6 gelding rest mares

we also have a olympic sixe arena
and a sand 0.5 acre.

hellppppppppp

I would put the geldings in the five acre one dayor 2 days a week eg sunday and wednesday and for 6 to 8 hours. all other days in the arena for 3 to 4 hours with a bit of hay. Mares into the 7 acre one day or 2 days a week eg saturday and tuesday and in the arena before or after the geldings have been in there. Ideally I would try to reduce the numbers of horses. I would save the smaller paddocks for summer.
