Limited turnout..hmm..

Okay, as a potential college next year I may be going to the Queen Ethelburga college. Fantastic! It has amazing equestrian facilites and stabling for over 90 horses.


Yet it only have 20 day grass paddocks. This is a major question mark for me, as I understand the importance of turnout to a horse.

Does anyone have any advice?

not entirely sure what you mean by 20 day grass paddocks.If you mean 20 fields then surely that is plenty for 90 horses.If you mean a field for turning out 20 horses then I would imagine they all get to go out for a certain amount of time each day.

I think it means 20 paddocks. So is that roughly 5 horses per paddock?

I'd want to know how big the paddocks are and how much turnout your horse will get.

echo bay mare - find out the specifics.

for petal, i couldn't take her anywhere she couldn't be out 24/7 - she hates being in overnight and really frets. many horses are perfectly happy in overnight. many will 'cope' without much turnout at all, while some can't cope without at least a full day out.
