Track Paddocks!
• We’re very proud of our three 5-acre paddocks with V-mesh-and-pipe external fencing, internal perimeter tracks with feeding, resting and watering stations designed to encourage healthy and natural movement and foraging patterns. See Paddock Paradise: A Guide to Natural Horse Boarding for more information about the track paddock concept.
