Staying positive and trying to plan ahead for the new place I now have my paddocks allocated, all 4 are together but 2 on each side of the driveway. 0.8 acre and 0.75 acre on the left, 0.75 acre and 0.25 acre on the right. I am going to connect the left 2 into a track with 2x 0.25 acre paddocks in the middle, the right will be the winter paddocks (I'm currently on 3.5 acres but the horses can only use just shy of 2 acres so it will be fractionally more than now).
Anyway the far left boundary is a stream, its maybe 6 or 8ft across and a couple of feet deep with a reasonable 2ft bank, do I dare risk not fencing it? Jess won't try to cross it, Hank might investigate but is unlikely to go anywhere, Dan I am not so sure about the other side is a big 20 acre fallow field. Would you give it a go without?
I can fence it, but will either have to loose a strip down the side or hack my way through the band of trees along there, which would be an awesome bit to include on their track for shade, shelter and entertainment purposes
