Field Management for Horses & Ponies by Sian Evans

Field Management for Horses & Ponies by Sian Evans

Grassland management can be complicated and frustrating. Even with a small paddock there is either too much grass or too much ragwort. Field Management for Horses and Ponies shows you how to analyse your existing pasture in order to maximize the quantity and quality of your grazing. It gives practical advice on soil analysis, fertilizing, harrowing and ploughing, land drainage, fencing and problems such as weed infestation and poisonous plants. Anyone who wishes to improve their grazing and get the most out of their land - from the owner of one horse or pony who is kept on a small area of rented land to the riding school proprietor - will find the easy-to-understand advice given in this book invaluable.

Sian Evans is an equestrian journalist who has been involved with horses for many years and regularly contributes to newspapers and magazines. She has spent a great deal of time and effort transforming her own grazing from a rough and uninhabitable piece of land into a safe area of nutritious grazing. Sian has also worked in the BHS press office for their 'Root out Ragwort' campaign and has worked with trainers and breeders on a variety of private premises specializing in areas from dressage to eventing. Sian is also the author of All About Beds and Bedding in the Allen photographic guide series.
