EP 55: Designing the Landscape of Your Horse Farm

Are the southwest breezes picking up the manure pile odors and sending them into your kitchen window?

As we wrap up 2020 talking about how we can improve our horses’ wellbeing by improving their environments, today’s discussion is a continuation of that theme with a focus on property design. 

This episode is proudly sponsored by Lucas Equine Equipment, makers of fine quality stall components and accessories.

Historically, most horse farms were designed and built with human needs in mind, The horses’ needs weren’t necessarily ignored, but they were (and often still are) secondary in the design and planning phases of equestrian properties. But, as we build new farms and update existing ones, we have the chance to change that. We have the chance to create properties that allow our hoses to live within the human construct while still satisfying their basic needs; needs that, when met, create happier, healthier, and better performing athletes– in all disciplines and at all levels.

This is the first in a series on designing horse farms for the 21st century. Our guest is award-winning Landscape Architect, Deborah Cerbone, who will walk us through some of the essential things to consider when first looking at building or renovating a horse farm. Listen in!

EP 54: A New Kind of Turnout for Healthy Hooves

We know so much more about our horses needs today than we did 10, 20, or 30 years ago. Research, technology, and the internet have allowed us to learn and share information about horse care like never before. One of things we have learned of late is that healthy horses and hooves depend a lot not just on how much time horses are turned out, but what they do while out there. 

Paddock Paradise, introduced to the horse world by Jamie Jackson back in 2007, and based on his extensive research of wild American horses, is gradually becoming a more common fixture in American horsekeeping plans. Europe has been on board with this paradigm shift for quite a while. Perhaps it’s time we Americans start re-thinking our property layouts, too.  Listen in!

Paddock Paradise isn’t complicated, and it is appropriate for any geographic area of the world.
