Interesting, thank you. A good technique to employ for hedgerow management is “Pleaching” this is a traditional technique that thickens up the hedge, making it secure for livestock, great for improving habit for wildlife from predators, saves on fencing repairs/management, provides windbreaks/shelters, protects the land from losing top soil & helps protect from flooding. Good for privacy & better security!

Thank you really helped x

Hay nets are way too high. They are not goats and besides the occasional tree leaves or even bark, they will graze low.

Words matter ! All animals are sentient beings, they are individuals, they are someone. Animals are here with us they are not for us. Any animal you care for is certainly part of your family, you are their guardian, they totally depend on you for their survival. Eating animals,their eggs or their milk, wearing their skins, breeding and raising animals to consume or use to exploit as a commodity is unacceptable and the biggest betrayal of all !

What about growing comfrey in their pasture for free choice?

My minis love a bite of willow leaves now and then ❤

I'm setting up a track system for my miniature horses, for three purposes: to give them an 8ft wide race track which will allow them to race and gallop to their hearts' content, to hopefully allow for some rotational strip grazing, and, as part of a many pronged coyote deterrent system. The minis will only be allowed into the track under supervision. Their track contains two trees. I love your idea of placing logs on the track!

how big is ur property? thank u!

Just found you. Loving watching your videos. Thanks

I bought an 'older' pony 2 months ago. I am a 'mature(older)' lady myself. Ridden since a child, kept ponies most of my life. ( Tried giving up horses numerous times!!). Shes's the most polite, gentle, appreciative soul ( yes Cheeky, as you say, if she thinks she can get away with something!). But understands when I make a mistake and spend ages struggling redoing straps up( because my arthritic fingers don't function like they're supposed to!). No ears back, fidgeting, pushing, she waits for me to sort myself out. And yes, I let her choose her path sometimes on a hack in the woods. She seems to appreciate there is no need to rush anymore and enjoys the moments of just 'being'. As for expensive, I have had quite a few younger horses that were for more problematic. I'm monitoring her stomach as she has some teeth issues which was why I stumbled across ( and watched) your herbs and horses videos. ( We have already discovered Sticky weed!). Thank you for your videos. I think they are Great!! Very much appreciated!

I've got some comefrey from country park herbs ( it's came as chopped up and dry)they recommend feeding it. However I'd like to put it on the leg as a poltice how would u recommend I do this ?

Dehydrated some after 3 months they became moldy, are they still safe to use

Omg do you truly have a horse in your kitchen!? My kinda girl you are!@

you meant well but this was the most boring video i have ever seen. i know how to pick fruit so i dont need to watch you do it for more than three quarters of your vieo. hope this helps you in your future creations

Doesn't cow parsley look like an other bad plant , a video on how to identify would be great thank

I live in Ireland ,, the wet west ,, do you recommend an all weather track ? If so can you give advice on construction 😁☘️

whats that horse saying

What a little sweetheart 💕💕💕 I’m glad they left her with you

I live in Australia and some of the big hay farmers test their own hay which is great 😊👍🏽

Great video 💕👍🏽 This has inspired me to cut my own hay and save a heap of $$$👍🏽 I’ve told my neighbours that petting my pony’s is free but feeding treats cost $5000 because that’s how much it cost in vet hospital fees when someone fed my mini pony a lemon and he got choke 😢😖🤦‍♀️😡

Do nettles have to be dehydrated to make tea? Or can you just pick, wash and brew?

Thanks for using fish. I do leave my small feeder goldfish in the horse tank for years. Also use 30 gallon containers with rainwater for watering plants. My fish are about an inch or two and cost about 45 cents each. Use about 30 scattered around different containers. No horse anymore. Try to keep ice off in winter, but just found a container with 4 fish. Hadnt seen them for year and half. Blackberries grew over. As long as 3' deep so raccoons don't get them. Thanks for what you're doing.

Thank you for the video!! Does garlic also repel mosquitos??

Can also pick some leaves fresh, pop into boiled water for 5 to 10 mins make tea and eat leaves after it.

can you ride during the day in the winter time?

How long do you find that they will keep after dehydrating? I am hoping they can last a year or so. I add silica gel packets to my dehydrated items in storage.

This is kind of what I want too do on my 25 acers . I just put up a 70x200 foot indoor arena and trying to figger out padock lay outs. Video has been help full

Thank you for the video ,not raising any live stock now but gives me ideas for later use.

Very cute .... My ole guy Rocky is hanging on n eating better the last few weeks. I;ve got him on Bute for his Arthritis - Equi doesn't seem to do much Question : since I can't get Aspirin to disolve & squirt in Mouth - how would you recommend giving him Aspirin ? I'd like to administer Aspirin during the afternoon before his evening Bute. Thanks Doug

Loved that interview

Great video

Looking to do this for my horses on my property...so very helpful!😊

Love this video! I would love a series of post on ig or videos about every jars with more details, like their use (that you partially already sad), where to found them and how to conserve them!

Hahaha so funny!!!!

❤❤❤

Was this November? Is this an all year round thing?

Greetings from New Zealand. Do the irritating hairs you mention bother horses?

Nettle tea here we go. 👍☺️

Good talk, wish I had horses now.

How do you start - put the posts up and then the electric that you choose?

Great tips 🙌😍😍😍!

Glad to have an update on the herd xxx

Wonderful video!!!!

Wonderful video!!! I didn't know that swallows are such helpful birds :-)!

Lovely video!

Love your tack room! great video :-) !!

Like your respectful attitude to the nettles and surrounding wild life! However, you should NEVER dry herbs in full sunlight as this diminishes their vital properties. Instead, choose an airy space where the herbs can dry out over some days, always avoiding exposure to direct sunlight.....

Well done for trying to be balanced. Ragwort in feed would be a problem, only the most starving horse would eat it as a plant, it tastes horrible. Hence it is seen near me in fields with horses who are excellently kept and do not go near it. It is a vital plant to insects especially the threatened cinnabar moth. The current laws are pre-eco times. I have non grazed, non cut for feed fields with ragwort contained by tactical pulling and cut lanes. I hope conversations like yours inform a needed debate and education on ragwort.

Bareback - tricky well done ! Do you cut & bale ur own hay like I do Or do you consign it to be baled ??
