PRIZE Management Tips

  • Set up a grazing or cutting/grazing rotation
  • Remove all dung on a regular basis
  • If you have one field, split it up into smaller paddocks
  • In spring, use surplus paddocks for producing hay
  • Do not have too many horses on one area
  • If you over-winter outside, use only one paddock, with additional hay and concentrates until spring. This will allow your other paddocks to recover over the winter
  • Reseed your winter paddock every year in spring
  • Make use of a grass topper if you have one - by using regularly, it can help to maintain an overall thick sward as horses tend not to graze the small areas where they dung
