Cutting Feed

[pst]

I have too much grass too. The vets put Vinnie on a diet already & spring is only just here !! Not sure what I'm going to do as I've got 6 acres of good grazing between 2 horses. I was thinking I'll cut the grass with a lawnmower & have a dressage arena sectioned off & then a show jumping course sectioned off.

I have applied for planning permission for stables so thats going to take another area, but I still think they're never going to keep on top of the grass. I might have to get another pony

Could you not section a couple of acres off and grow your own hay!

I did consider that but I was told it would be more hassle than it's worth by the local farmer....I can see me with my lawnmower day & night

By the time you finished you would have to start cutting again!!

Have to be honest & say that some electric fencing would probably be chaper, but what the h3ll - go for it!

My lot (2 horses, 1 pony & Dougie Donk) are out on 23 acres, shared only when the neighbours sheep can be bothered walking that far uphill - gives me stacks of excuses to expand further
