I have worked on or visited horse farms since 1973. Over these 49 ½ years, I have seen and learned many tricks to make things better for horses and humans while also learning the pitfalls of poor thought, design, and safety.

The subject of managing horse pastures covers a lot of things. These include:

• Pasture types – grass, legume.
• Pasture maintenance – irrigation, rock control, fertilization, mowing.
• Pasture safety – horse density, human safety.
• Pasture fence and gates – types and examples, maintenance, safety, latches.
• Pasture feeding equipment – hay delivery, grain delivery, water delivery.

Some subjects overlap, but I will try to contain these into understandable groups.
