If it was me, I would fence off about quarter of an acre, then once that is eaten down thoroughly, move the strip fence about a metre per day all the way along the longest side, so the horses always have fresh clean grass to eat. If they don't eat it right down, you're giving them too much - if they are sucking the roots an hour after you've moved it, it's not enough! ; ) Mic Mic (Michelle) Rushen ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Solva Icelandic Horses and DeMeulenkamp Sweet Itch Rugs: www.solva-icelandics.co.uk ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Si hoc legere scis nimium eruditionis habes"
