Welcome to our Horse track system - Paddock paradise

[@LD-vt5ou]

I can't believe that is only 2 acres! AMAZING!

[@kirstybubb6701]

I have massive Paddock Paradise envy! What a fabulous track! Thank you for the tour!

[@user-kq3il9zi3e]

Love all the choices you offer them. Promotes their seeking behaviour.

I'm just thinking, when the horses stand on the mound, they're not pretending they're the king of the castle, nor hanging out there to enjoy views. To a horse herd, the best and broadest view of their farthest surroundings spells safety. It's that simple. They can ease up their natural state of hypervigilance and relax just a notch. They can exhale while they're up there, knowing that the vulnerable members of the herd are in the safest spot they can be. Even there are in fact no predators in the area, this is the horses' instinct. Not meaning to sound critical. I absolutely love, and am grateful for, your video. What you've done is inspiring, and your narrative is truly educational. I've only got two miniature horses, but have the opportunity to set up a track system, and your video is one of the best I've seen on the subject.

I’m planning to do a track for my 2 horses and a mini, 2 acres may be involved in the paradise, but I need to make a couple of changes, thanks for the tour

[@jenniferhall2318]

This was such bliss to watch! I hope I can do this one day when I get my own land

[@yaysunny]

thank you for sharing i've been recently enthralled by track systems/free access shelters/paddock set ups lately and am having fun learning more about them as a design option

[@petsforsale]

well done, something I wish I could afford to do. Totally agree, horses are over rugged, just because we might feel cold, our horses won't be cold and yes, wind and rain is the only time I'll put a rain sheet on my boy. (16.2hh Hanoverian gelding 12Yrs old and barefoot all his life)

[@MsGroovalicious]

No rugs (blankets) Right-o!! Great PP!!!

[@thisisbeccalilly2435]

Thats right! Only time they have needed them was for the beast from the east a few years ago ( uk storm)

[@michellewal8219]

Thank you for the lovely tour. My track is on one acre for four horses, three are minis, with the pasture in the center. In my area of the States gorse is an invasive weed so I keep it cut and out of the pasture or it would take over!

[@Sofiarivassculptor]

Cute horses, they have. Paradise just for them

[@daphneydotson9751]

I’m planning my track system now. The grass is really rich, so how would I keep them leaning over the fence to nibble on the fenced off areas? What herbs do you plant in your pastures/paddocks?

[@ziolavandino]

Me too I'm interested in which herbs they plant in they pastures/paddocks.

[@leeevers8976]

I’m planning on a similar trail system, this was very informative. Thank you

[@fruitfulorchardcic]

Thank you so mucb for this video. Im planning to have my horses on 2 acres land so its nice that i can visualise how that will be and also nice to get some uk references sites 😊

[@kalman9233]

I like it

[@leonienolan511]

Can you do a video on how to do the track surface in more detail 😁l , iv looked all over the internet for a step by step guide ,, thanks

[@thisisbeccalilly2435]

Thanks for your comment, I will try my best to make an explanation video soon

[@madeleinee8181]

Love it. Whats the name of the sprinklers? (really smart!!!)

[@thisisbeccalilly2435]

they are from amazon, about £15 and they are called hose sprinkler system

[@porkyfedwell]

Wish I could understand what she’s talking about. She’s talking about a “horse track,” but I don’t see a horse track. A horse track is circular so they can do laps.

[@sockenfraualfred6324]

Thank you for the inspiration. My own track gets bigger step by step. Can you please tell me the name of the trees/bushes you spokeabout? I understood something like goose. Sorry, I am from Germany and my English is not so good.

[@thisisbeccalilly2435]

Hello, Thank you for your comment. The plant is Gorse feel free to join the horse track system page on Facebook for more information

[@StargazerArabians]

Loved your video. Lots of great information. What are the dimensions of your shelters? Thanks!

[@thisisbeccalilly2435]

Hello, sorry it has taken so long for me to reply 😅 The big one is 12 x 24 the small one attached to the stables is10 x 14 and i think the new one is 12 x 12

[@HorseMuse]

How do you clean this much space of manure??

[@thisisbeccalilly2435]

It gets done every morning and evening as is easier than poo picking a field just a quick 10 min walk around the track and you done

[@leonienolan511]

Did you say the track is in a 2 acre field?, it looks very big

[@thisisbeccalilly2435]

Hi, yes the track is on about 2 acres

[@lucasa1849]

What did she say about the surface of the track at the beginning? Road planings?

[@thisisbeccalilly2435]

Yes road plannings do the best job

[@lucasa1849]

This is Becca Lilly . I checked it out. So it’s old recycled road? I can only find examples on .uk websites. If I look in Dutch, all I get is road planning and traffic systems and stuff like that.

[@thisisbeccalilly2435]

Yes it is the old road that has been removed, in the UK its quiet easy to get hold of. I will ask Lisa for you how else you can find it

[@lucasa1849]

This is Becca Lilly . Thanks, that would be awesome

[@thisisbeccalilly2435]

Lisa has responded " Crushed limestone or peashingle or sand is better than road planning really or of course mud control mats that cost a fortune ! "

[@helenformby3336]

This system is fantastic. Would I need planning permission to do this and is it fairly easy to get?

[@thisisbeccalilly2435]

Hi, this will vary depending on where you live.

[@Brookandboo]

When you say the track is 2 Acres - is that the actual track ? How big is the land that the track goes round please ? It looks more than 2 Acres

[@thisisbeccalilly2435]

Hello, The main track is 340metres all the way round. 7250 squ metres inside main track approx 1.8 acres
