Paddocks

All our paddocks are larger than 1500 m2 and each paddock has a fresh water tap with cool SANS241 controlled drinking water

Paddocks are assigned for each horse. We do not rotate paddocks.

We do not change paddocks once a paddock is assigned to a horse. The logistics of a paddock change are big with regard to groom routines and would mean we have to keep paddocks free, which comes at a great cost. There will be times in summer when the grass is dry and not growing and when clients will have to up the feed. Most yards in Qheberha have much smaller paddocks, and many are just sand paddocks.

In case there is a behavioural issue with a new neighbouring horse, the owner can inform us at [email protected] , and we will assess the need for a paddock change with the owner.

At times, we will inform the owner of a short-term paddock change when we do a de-weeding of the paddocks and MCPA spraying. We let a paddock rest at least 2 weeks after MCPA spraying. The de-weeding routines are planned by The Hill and not at the client's request. We have to take many factors into account.
