Strip grazing

Strip grazing is an effective pasture management technique for horses, helping to control grass intake, prevent overgrazing, and maintain healthy pasture. By dividing a field into smaller sections and allowing access to one strip at a time, horses consume grass more gradually, which helps reduce the risk of laminitis and obesity. It encourages more even grazing, limits waste, and gives previously grazed areas time to recover and regrow. Strip grazing also helps maintain sward quality and extends the life of the grazing season. It’s a simple but powerful way to balance horse health with sustainable pasture use.
