Horse manure removal from pasture

   / Horse manure removal from pasture #11  
If you have a closed herd, parasites are not the problem your wife makes it to be. Determine which horse/s are shedders and separate /worm them until clear. Drag the pastures to keep the forage growing. Otherwise you'll have to fertilize to replace the nutrients removed via manure. With Intensive rotational grazing and irrigation your acreage can support 8 horses during the growing season.

My Vet told me that same years ago. If you keep them wormed on a regular schedule, then there is no problem with spreading the manure out. Haven't had any problems in 25 years.

When I had horses years ago, we would rake it into piles and burn it. No flame, but it just smolders. Even better when there is sawdust in the mix.

If you have a horse, the work just keeps piling up.

How did you rake it? Landscape rake?

Sorry for the duplicate post. Just learning the forum....

You can pick up some by hand and get a chain harrow for the field and just drag it every couple days...

This is it, right here.

Also...

I would landscape rake it into piles and use the FEL and bucket to haul it off if the Mrs. doesn't like that idea. If she still goes nutzo, then just smile and hand her a shovel, and teach her how to operate a wheel barrow. A few weeks of that and she'll come around to your way of thinking.

Horse people.... sheesh.

My wife and the barn girl were picking it up today with a wheelbarrow and forks ..... I was at the gun range...:)
