Anyone use a "Night Pasture"? Thinking about putting one in with a run-in shed...
Folks,
I can't recall where I heard of this but I like the idea. Right now I am thinking about building a "Night Pasture" basically a 32' x 32' to 40' x 40' fenced area with a run-in shed, areas for feeding, and haying, etc. I would bring the horses in every night, feed them, and let them out every morning after feeding them.
I also plan multiple gates so I can end up with separate pastures I can let them out into, thereby facilitating pasture rotation.
I'd love to hear good & bad about this idea.
Thanks in advance,
David
