OKAY fellows. I still do not get where people think I ever said to let the horses run together. Never posted that anywhere.
I have hauled the Grand Daughter's horses on several of these rides this summer. At every single one of them they have 95% of the horses tied with a long lead so they can graze over night. Not my choice or recommendation. I have absolutely ZERO to do with them doing this.
Also at 3 of the 4 rides they have gone on someone's horse got loose over night.
So here is what I am going to do.
1) I am going to have them set up in the alfalfa field. It has the best fences that are 100% horse tight. It also has the best camp site.
2) I will mow the alfalfa this coming week and chop it. I am going to set the mower real close so it will be clipped at about an inch. So for the ride there will be about zero alfalfa standing. I have decided to rotate that field to grain for next year.
3) There will be hitching post type of ties for those that want them. I have the portable blocks that have a rod/rail at about four feet to tie a horse to.
I just needed someone to chime in with the facts that alfalfa standing is too rich a feed for most horses. I sold alfalfa hay to horse people for 12-15 years it was quite the rage in the 1980s-1990s. That was why I was asking about it.
IF we have trouble it will just make it the last ride we have here. Not a real issue. The girls can ride their horses here and stay home.
