Neighbors two months later

Tractorbeam · Dec 16, 2008

I posted this pic almost two months ago. I'll repost it for comparison's sake
and show the same scene two months later, but from a bit more distant
vantage. The fence in the foreground is my property line in each pic.

Reason I'm showing it is because I will be closing on the property in the
background end of December, 16 acres! Can't see them in the picture, but
there's a run-in barn/shed and a very small pond. The 16 acres is divided up into 3 separate fenced fields.

So the horses will no longer neighbors, they will be boarders! Six retired racers.

Now I need to study up on pasture management and look into getting a drag
harrow. The horses will go back into the far field come March and the other
two fields back to hay. Any advice?

Back in October:

Very nice pics.
On my property I have four pastures separated by fences. Horses are four weeks on and six weeks off. I mow the pastures to keep the grass about eight inches tall through the season. Spry weed once a year and fertilize twice a year. Drag harrow is used as needed. I also spray the fence line once a year to keep them clean. Btw, my grass are Orchards.
