Paddock maintenance

Recommended Posts

Looking for feedback and advice from others who have added additional services like equestrian paddock maintenance

Thinking ahead to spring I will be getting the harrows and roller on my field and keeping the grass in check with a flail mower

Do any of you provide this service for local equestrian yards ? If so how are you pricing it and what are the general going rates. Is it worth doing as an additional service ?

You can't catch it but at a stretch you could carry it if you let an affected horse sneeze on you then go and have contact with another un affected horse .  Not very likely I know but , people , ( women ) are very protective of their horses . I am married to one  !

Is there an actual quarantine in force and if so what’s the radius and expected length of time ?

At the moment I think it is voluntary . Croften Manor  are on lock down as that is were the out break occurred .  We have a horse that went there a few days ago for a competition and it is now in quarantine and the vet has taken blood .  ( we are in West Dean , West Sussex and Corften is just up the road in Hampshire ) . Until the results come in no body wants to risk it . It is fatal for the horse .

Well let’s hope yours is alright and it’s sorted quickly.
Ah you are just down the road from me.
Do you take on any paddock contracting yourself?

The only paddock maintenance I do is poo picking and some strimming now and then and that  is for free ?
