Win taking his management duties very seriously! I wasn’t taking soil samples fast enough for his high demands so he decided he needed to step in and try it out!

Why are we taking soil samples?

To promote good forage growth next year! I’ve noticed our field is getting more buttercups and less good grass in it each year and want to reverse this pattern. Luckily there are great resources to take soil samples to in Maryland which test for certain nutrient levels and PH.

Good forage needs optimal levels of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, and magnesium and the proper PH level.

Stay tuned for the results 🙂

Not my normal post but here we go! Fall is a great time for pasture maintenance and over the next few days we’ll look at a few things you can do to help your horse field produce better pasture. First up is Aerating.

🐴 Why Aerating Your Horse Fields Matters 🌱
Keeping your pastures healthy isn’t just about reseeding or mowing — aeration plays a key role in maintaining nutritious, resilient forage for your horses.

🌿 Give Your Pastures Room to Breathe
Compacted soil limits root growth and water movement

💚 Improved Grass Growth
Aeration loosens compacted soil, allowing air, water, and nutrients to reach plant roots.
➡️ Result: Stronger root systems and more vigorous, balanced grass growth.

💧 Better Water Drainage
Aerated soil absorbs rainfall and reduces runoff or muddy patches.
➡️ Less standing water means fewer hoof problems and less pasture damage.

🌾 Enhanced Soil Health
Oxygen flow encourages beneficial microbes that break down organic matter.
➡️ Healthier soil = more nutrient-rich forage.

✨ Pro Tip: Aerate once or twice a year — ideally in spring or fall — when grass is actively growing.
Healthy soil = Healthy pasture = Healthy horse 💚

Only had a handful of minutes before I lost the daylight so we took advantage of the time we had and worked on some trailer training. My goal is to get him self loading and I know we’ll get there in no time!

As the cold days get closer, remember that currying your horse before riding is a great way to start warming up their muscles and yours!
