> not putting up fence alleyways or corridors to move from one field to > the other
I LOVE my alley way connecting my four paddocks to the winter pasture. Someone told me I should take it out it was a waste of room. No way! The paddocks all open into the alley which also gives a backup enclosure in case a gate gets incorrectly closed, etc. Once I came home from a trip to see the farm sitter couldn't figure out how to latch the gate so had just wrapped the chain around the post! #&@!! I had extra clasps on the end of chains, lead ropes she could have used to tied the gate shut, etc. Needless to say I was thankful my alley was there. Still I hate to leave my horses in the care of others! Cheryl Sand Creek Icelandics Icelandic Horses & Icelandic Sheepdogs website: www.toltallyice.com
