The Ragwort Risk 07th March 25

As the weather warms, the dreaded ragwort is starting to germinate, thriving on a huge range of soils here in the UK.

Ragwort can become established more easily where the sward is not well established, perhaps due to poaching or because other weeds have taken hold leaving the soil exposed where seed can land – especially common in late summer and autumn.

Its toxicity to horses means we must control it, and our only options are to pull, cut or plough it out, or use targeted chemical control.

Care should be taken if cutting and pulling, as cut plants may still set seed, and root fragments left in the ground are also capable of reproduction.

For this reason, I recommend Thrust – a selective weedkiller that is highly effective on ragwort, and can also be used to kill thistle, dock, plantain, soft rush and buttercup.

Outdoor Living Starts with Soil Testing 07th March 25

We hear more and more about the equine welfare benefits of turning out horses allowing them maximum time to graze and roam.

Whether this is your current practice or something you’re transitioning to, it pays to get to grips with your paddock and improve your knowledge of grazing nutrition.

Paddock soil testing can provide a wealth of information relating to nutrient availability, giving you the tools to grow high quality grass, reduce weed and moss growth, and mitigate damage from drought.

I see yard owners regularly spending on general paddock feed year after year, when a more tailored fertiliser recommendation can save money and improve outcomes - both in terms of horse health and budget control.
