Benefits of regular poo-picking
Healthier Pasture: Clearing droppings helps break the lifecycle of worms. Worm eggs are passed in the droppings, which then move to the surrounding grass and are ingested again by your horse. Keeping the field clean lowers the worm burden and contributes to better pasture health.
Weed Control: Poo-picking keeps the pasture palatable and reduces weed growth. By removing droppings, you prevent weed seeds from spreading and taking root.
Visual Appeal: A clean field is more aesthetically pleasing. It’s satisfying to see a well-maintained area without unsightly droppings.
Safety and Maintenance: Regular poo-picking allows you to inspect the field for issues like broken fencing, rabbit holes, lost shoes, and discarded rubbish that could be hazardous to your horse.
