Paddock Cleaning
All manure on our property is collected on a regular basis using our world renowned patented PC900 and PC1800 Nicholson Paddock Cleaners. We do not harrow our paddocks, thereby greatly reducing the spread of harmful pathogens and parasites contained in manure. By eliminating most harmful parasites and pathogens we are able to maintain a healthy environment for all horses.
It has been well documented that one of the major causes of death in horses is Colic, and one of the major causes of Colic is internal parasites. Removing manure greatly reduces parasites being re-consumed by horses and adds to their overall health and wellbeing.
We perform faecal egg counts from time to time. Our horses are only wormed when necessary. In this way we are greatly reducing the chance of parasite resistance to drenches.
