It does have sharp edges but that did not cause any of my horses problems. Even with the sharp edges the really small bluestone would be OK for me to lie down...
Ah. I was worried that the bluestone might have sharp edges that would dig into frogs... Some people put some sort of geotextile fabric down over a dug out ...
I used 1/4 inch bluestone. Needs to be at least 6 inches deep so that it moves when they step on it. My mare that had really sore feet used to enjoy walking on...
Hi all, those of you who remember my dear departed Bruno may be interested to know that he also had insulin resistance at certain times of the year, as well as...
I agree Sacha. I'd love to see pics of your progress. I plan to have mine up and running in the next 3 months - just have to afford more step-ins and tape! The...
Hey Jenny No, I love the long posts! The more info the better, thanks. I will go back through those posts. Gaeme's ideas sound really interesting and I'm...
Hi Adie I think it will definitely encourage movement. Especially for my horses anyway, knowing their behaviour and what they like to do. One of my horses in...
Hi Leanne Thanks for your experiences. Always good to hear others feedback. I really like the sound of the paradise paddocks. It kind of makes sense for me... ...
Hi Jenny I have let my 3 out in 3 acre paddocks which have been locked up over the growing period. The feed is now about 60% dried off and there is Heaps of ...
Cynthia Cooper, of this group, and naturalhorseworld.com was part of a trial where they had movement collars on her horses - some of which were on a track and...
I am in the process of adding a PP track. I've got rivers tones around their bath, and just need a few more 'step-ins' to complete my track. Going to add more...
Hey Sacha, Robyn is right you are not worrying too much - it can be quite a big deal. These things seem to particularly bite those of us who live in the...
Hi Sacha, I have had my horses on a paddock paradise track now for a few years. I had two horses with typical IR symptoms, in both cases all but one of those...
Interesting, thanks Pony... I'm going to give it a go. I can direct the laneways down our driveway which is quite long and gravel so I don't need to add any...
Hi Sacha I don't think you are worrying too much, and if you can replant your paddocks to suit your horses you will keep them much healthier in the long term....
Hi Everyone I know this is not related to the bobbysdiaries directly but I did notice something on the books with spirit website about something similar and I...
Hi Adie I'd like to think the local library would do what they could to get the book, even if just on loan!!! It's a great way to save a few trees. I sure...

Thanks Kath, that makes a heap of sense, and I'll try it out. I wonder if I can get the local library to buy it? I've been doing the 'sharing breath' with my...
Hi Adie, The book talks about how our breathing techniques benefit both the rider and horse. I'll just quote a few things that might give you an idea of what...
Hi Kath I didn't take it that way at all but thanks, so hard to write what you mean sometimes... That book sounds amazing. I'm going out to find it this week....
Excellent Jenny, I recommend it. Only gripe is where she places the rope around the neck on lunge (very high up near the jaw) and there is one pic of her...
Hey, that's 5 or six times in a couple of weeks that I've heard about that book - I must be supposed to read it!!(Empowering Horses by Imke Spilker. How are...
