Preserving Pastures with a Drylot

Everybody envisions their pastured ponies grazing in a field of lush green grass.  Truthfully this is not always reality.  Too many horses and not enough acreage can lead to overgrazing.  Drought in the summer can stress the grass, and cold weather in the winter can leave a muddy mess.

NCSU has put together a nice fact sheet to summarize the do's and don'ts have pasturing horses- and how to add a drylot to save your pasture during extreme weather.
