UVM Extension's Center for Sustainable Agriculture is hosting a pasture walk focused on rotationally grazing horses. Becky Kinkead grazes her Icelandic horses on a paddock paradise system to benefit the land in addition to her horses by having long recovery times for the pastures and grazing tall, fibrous mature grass. This system also encourages more movement of the horses when out on pasture by having to walk in between pastures and along a designated laneway back to the barn.
