Tired of feeling like every pasture decision is a balancing act?
When you’re managing a good doer, it can feel as if you’re always weighing up grass, weight gain, laminitis risk and your horse’s need to move and graze. - Should you use a track system? - Would a dry lot help? - How can you manage risk while still supporting your horse’s welfare? In this on-demand webinar, Sian explains how pasture, soil health, plant diversity and grazing management work together. You’ll explore practical options, including tracks and dry lots, and learn how to assess what may suit your horse, land, facilities and budget. There’s no one-size-fits-all answer. The aim is to help you understand your options, make informed decisions and feel less alone in working through them.

About this webinar
Should you strip graze, use a track system or reseed? Would a dry lot help? Are herbs safer than grass? These decisions can feel exhausting when you’re trying to manage metabolic risk and still support a horse’s welfare. The right approach depends on your horses, pasture and management goals. This webinar explains how grazing management, soil health, plant diversity and horse behaviour fit together, so you can better understand your options and make informed decisions for your own situation. Rather than prescribing one solution, Sian explores practical evidence-based approaches and the factors to consider when choosing what may work for your horses, land, facilities and budget.
Who this webinar is for
- Owners of good doers and easy keepers - Owners of native breeds - People caring for horses with EMS or prone to laminitis - Yard managers - Equine professionals
