june issue land & stable management

www.tradetalkonline.co.uk TRADE talk equestrian directory 3

Welcome ContentsIn this issue of Trade Talk the spotlight

turns to maintenance, both of the stable yard and of the paddock.

Although products in this sector may appear to be more seasonal, there are plenty of items to stock that will enable sales all year round.

A large part of yard maintenance involves the day-to-day management of the stable, for which a good set of yard tools is vital to make the sometimes time-consuming job a faster and easier one. With new colours and styles constantly hitting the shelves, encourage your customers to ditch their rusty old forks, shovels and wheelbarrows and invest in some more modern equipment.Alongside the daily tasks come more occasional but nevertheless just as important improvements and maintenance jobs. Products such as stable disinfectants, paint or wood preparation treatments may be more seasonal, whilst items such as replacement bolts or padlocks should be stocked year-round in case the customer needs to make an urgent repair. Stable furnishings such as hay feeders, buckets, window grids, anti-weaving grills and stable mirrors meanwhile allow the customer to make improvements to their horse’s surrounds as well as replace any worn or broken items as necessary. Paddock maintenance is year-round, but again involves different jobs (and different products) at different times of the year. Managing grassland is somewhat of a specialist area, so retailers shouldn’t be afraid to approach manufacturers and experts for advice. Smaller retailers whose shelf space may be limited could consider compiling their own directory of local paddock service or equipment suppliers and linking up with these businesses to mutual benefit.

This issue of Trade Talk profiles some of the best suppliers of yard and paddock maintenance equipment, and also contains some handy advice to keep next to the till just in case!

Trade Talk highlights some of the management practices that should be carried out to maintain paddocks in good condition throughout the year.

The art of good grassland management is really

a balance between maintaining good grass

coverage during the winter months and avoiding

the prevalence of too much lush grass during

spring and summer, taking into account the

nutritional needs of the horse.

Ideally, horse owners should aim to keep grass at

a length of five centimetres (two to three inches)

during spring and summer and two centimetres

(one inch) in the winter. As a general rule, grass

grows five times faster in May than it does in

September, and will continue to grow so long as

the soil temperature is above 6°C.

What makes grassland management for horses

particularly difficult is the fact that they are

very selective grazers, and if allowed will graze

paddocks unevenly to the point that the paddock

becomes ‘horse sick’ – that is, full of poor quality

grass with rank or bare patches, proliferating

with harmful weeds and a high population of

parasites. This is what makes maintaining good

and nutritious grass cover, together with weed

and manure removal, so important.

Pasture improvement

Rolling, harrowing and mowing are three

operations that can be carried out to improve

and maintain the quality of pasture, and can be

undertaken using equipment towed behind a quad

bike or by utilising the services of a farmer. Timing

is important, as these operations should not be

carried out in wet conditions.

Rolling will help repair any damage done to the

fields over the winter; harrowing pulls away the

dead grass (thatch) to allow air, water and nutrients

into the soil, and is best done in early spring;

and topping (mowing) levels off the grass and

encourages new growth. Retailers can provide

contact information on tack shop notice boards

for any local farmers or contractors that offer this

service.

Fertiliser and/or lime application is also important

for encouraging a healthy and nutritious sward,

and make up for the depletion of nutrients in any

over-grazed areas. The main nutrients required

for grass growth are nitrogen, phosphorous and

potassium, and customers should be advised to

use specialist equine paddock fertiliser to avoid

problems such as excessive nitrogen (which can

lead to overly lush grass, and potentially therefore

laminitis). Lime may be used

to neutralise soil that is too

acidic – this can be fairly

common as rain water is

naturally slightly acidic.

Soil testing using a simple

kit is recommended to

ensure that any fertiliser or

lime applications are properly

targeted. The optimum soil pH for

grass growth for horses is 6.0 to 6.5 – slightly

above that for agricultural grassland to reduce

the risks of low calcium levels in the grass.

Phosphorous levels should be above 3 ppm, and

potash levels above 75 ppm to avoid deficiency.

Reseeding can be carried out if the pasture has

been damaged by poaching or drought or if it is

dominated by perennial weeds or rough grasses

such as couch, soft brome, barley grass or

tussock grass. Specialist equine paddock seed

mixes should contain at least 50% late perennial

ryegrass, 25% turf-forming grasses and 25%

meadow grass, such as creeping red fescue or

timothy. Certain herbs may also be included in

grass seed mixtures, such as chicory, parsley,

ribgrass, yarrow or sainfoin, to

improve palatability

and increase the

variety of minerals

available to the

horse. Grass seeds

are generally sown at

30 to 37kg per hectare

(12kg to 15kg per

acre), depending on

soil condition.

suitable grass species

Three popular species of grass found in

equine paddocks are perennial ryegrass,

creeping red fescue and timothy.

Perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne) is a

common base for agricultural and equine

grass seed mixes and is also useful for hay

production providing the variety is one with

lower moisture content. This species of grass

grows best in good, rich soils and is most

productive when fertilised, remembering that

the levels of nitrogen that should be applied

to equine paddocks is less than that for

agricultural lays.

Perennial ryegrass does not grow well in very

dry conditions and can suffer cold weather

damage. Research has suggested that

ryegrass under stress produces higher levels

of fructans than other species, which may

increase the likelihood of laminitis.

Creeping red fescue (Festuca rubra) is

popular for use in sports turf, which means

that the price of this seed is higher. In

contrast to ryegrass, it copes well with winter

conditions and lower fertility soil. Fescue is

also highly palatable, although its digestibility

and mineral content may be low. It is hard

wearing, but its establishment is poor.

Timothy (Phleum pratense) is also hardy

and tolerates low fertility, and produces the

most palatable hay for horses. This species

has low mineral content, digestibility and

crude protein, with slow regrowth and low

persistence if with grown with ryegrasses and

grazed intensively. Timothy is useful in cool,

wet conditions on peaty or heavy soils, with

useful early growth on uplands

Weed removal

Keeping the grass sward thick, level and healthy

– which includes preventing overgrazing and

poaching, and the regular removal of manure – will

help to avoid the occurrence of weeds. Topping

the grass throughout the growing season

meanwhile will prevent any weeds that

are present from flowering or going to

seed.

Any weeds present

should be removed

at the beginning

of spring before

the plants have

had a chance

to establish.

Poisonous plants

such as ragwort must

be fully removed and properly disposed of to

avoid become a health threat to grazing horses –

several companies now produce specialist ragwort

removal forks (to be used in conjunction with a pair

of gloves) which make the task easier.

Ragwort is one of five weeds covered by the

provisions of The Weeds Act 1959, which require

that land owners take action to prevent the spread

of this injurious weed. The other plants included in

this Act are spear thistle, creeping or field thistle,

curled dock and broad-leaved dock.

It is important to remove other plants that,

although not toxic, the horse will not eat, such

as docks, nettles and thistles. Horse owners

can stop them spreading though regular cutting

and mowing, but might have to dig them up to

completely remove them. Alternatively, they may

be spot treated to kill using a herbicide such

as glyphosate (remembering that this is a non-

selective herbicide, which will also kill grass), but

it must be taken into account that the paddock

cannot be grazed for a given period afterwards.

DrainageAdequate and effective drainage is one of the

key factors to producing good grassland for

horses. Hooves have a naturally damaging effect

on the grass sward, particularly in wet weather,

and this is compounded if the land is not well

drained. Badly managed land will not allow the

soil to aerate and will soon become muddy and

poached – not the ideal environment for horses

and ruining the grass.

Any existing ditches should cleared of vegetation

and silt, and the area around gateways, feeding

managers or water troughs (any areas where

horses are likely to congregate for a greater

length of time) should be hard cored if necessary.

Alternatively, rubber matting can be used –

specialist free draining paddock mats are ideal for

use in muddy gateways and are often perforated

to allow grass growth through.



management calendarUse this handy grassland management calendar to plan what to stock and when, and reference when advising customers on how to keep their paddocks in top condition.

Time of year Action

Late winter Soil test to establish pH and nutrient levels. This allows forward planning.

Early spring Harrow and roll pasture.

Reseed any bare patches.

Watch out for overly lush grass growth – laminitis risk.

Spring/early summer Apply fertilisers if necessary (using results of soil test as guide).

Maintain grass length at 5cm, by topping if necessary.

Remove weeds such as docks and ragwort before they become too

established.

Summer Maintain grass length at 5cm. This will also stop weeds from flowering or

setting seed.

Autumn Reseed any bare patches.

Continue topping if necessary.

Watch out for ‘autumn flush’ of grass growth – laminitis risk

Prepare for winter by mending fences, trimming hedges and trees and

adding hardcore to gateways and feeding areas.

Winter Rotate paddocks to avoid poaching, using electric fencing to separate

areas of the field if necessary.



With rural crime on the rise, paddock and yard security should be at the top of the agenda. Retailers can help horse owners keep their horses and equipment safe by stocking a selection of security products and providing advice on how to use them effectively.

Criminals are often very stealthy, and may monitor

potential targets in the days and weeks before an

attempted raid in order to ascertain the level of

security in place. Things that the would-be thief

will note include the comings and goings of people

and vehicles; the existence of alarm systems,

security light and sensors (and how far they can

get before the alarms are triggered); and the

vulnerability of the tack room and storage areas.

Naturally, the more secure the yard and paddock,

the more that the thief

will be put off from

attempting to

break in.

Security

equipment

such as

lights,

alarms and

cameras

(imitation

devices are

better than

nothing at all,

although obviously

do not provide as high a level of

security) are therefore important pieces of kit in the

guard against crime.

Heavy duty paddocks should also be used to

protect storage areas, doors and gateways. UK

Horsewatch Alliance advises owners to secure

their gates with a close-shackled padlock and a

pad bar rather than a chain, which can be easily

cut through, and also reminds horse owners

that, although doors should be fastened with

paddocks, it is important to make sure the hinges

cannot be unscrewed, as a burglar will not think

twice about removing the door or gate. Putting

bars on the inside of any tackroom windows is

also recommended, and all equipment should be

security marked with postcode.

It is also important for horse owners to consider

their property or paddock boundaries, install as

high quality fencing and gates as possible and

check them regularly. Thieves may attempt to lift

gates off hinges, and have also been known to cut

fencing or hedgerows to allow them access or exit

at a later date, temporarily re-joining them in the

meantime.

Horse trailers are also popular targets for thieves,

but must be secured in a way that stops anyone

from stealing them but enables emergency access.

Farmkey operates a trailer marking scheme and

associated register, whilst wheel clamps and

hitchlocks can also be used. Advise owners to

apply their postcode to the trailer roof.

Stable maintenance is an important part of horse ownership, but can be easy to overlook. Encourage customers to check the condition of their stables, barns and outbuildings at least once a year, and sell them products to help them make those vital improvements and repairs.

Spring or summer is the best time to undertake

a conditions check on stable buildings, as it

allows vital time for maintenance works to be

carried out before the nights draw in. Important

things to note and target include the state of the

roof, gutters and drainage and any structural

damage, including from insects or fungi. For the

latter purpose as well as to maintain a hygienic

environment, retailers should stock a selection of

stable hygiene treatments and disinfectants.

Any faulty locks or bolts, broken gates, fencing,

light fittings, window grills or kick boards, or

even fire extinguishers, should be replaced as

and when necessary – if you yourself do not

stock certain items, it is good to have a book of

alternative contacts who can, to point customers

in the right direction.

Paint and wood preparation treatments on the

other hand require relatively little shelf space.

Such treatments not only improve the look of

the stable but also help protect and preserve

it. Advise that customers should first prepare

any surface for painting using a hand scraper to

remove old paint and/or sanding.

Stable maintenance




There are a number of things for customers to consider before purchasing paddock fencing, and factors such as cost, practicality, safety and aesthetics all come into play. Trade Talk profiles some of the most common types of fencing.

What makes a good fence?

A good fence should be highly visible to the horse,

high enough to deter it from jumping and solid

enough in case the horse tries to test its strength,

but with some give so as to minimise injury if the

horse does strike it. There must be little to no risk

of the horse getting caught or trapped, and no

sharp edges to cause injury. The fence should also

be easy to install and maintain, be durable and

long lasting, and should look attractive.

As a guide, the British Horse Society (BHS)

recommend that fences are approximately 1.25

metres (4 feet) in height, with fences between

1.08–1.38 metres (3’6”–4’6”) high for horses (even

higher for stallions) and 1.0–1.3 metres (3’3”–4’3”)

for ponies. Lower rails should be placed around

0.5 metres (1’6”) above ground level.

The BHS also lists the following types of fencing as

suitable for equines: post and rail wooden fencing,

post and rail impact resistant plastic, post and rail

– solid uprights, flexi-rails (PVC or rubber-coated

webbing), post electric – either wooden posts or

plastic stays with either electric tape or wire. Wire

fencing (plain or barbed) and single strand electric

wire meanwhile are considered less suitable and

potentially unsafe.

Wooden post and rail

Traditional wooden post and rail fencing is in an

ideal world the type of fencing that many horse

owners would choose. It is considered to be very

safe and aesthetically pleasing, but is usually more

expensive than other types of fencing and requires

regular maintenance to prevent rotting. Good

Fencing facts and maintenance



focus on... Land & Stablequality hardwood and pre-treated posts and rails

are the best option, as maintenance requirements

should be lessened slightly.

If customers already have post and rail fencing,

advise them that a strand of electric tape can be

used to protect the top rail from getting chewed or

broken and should help prolong its life, as well as

making the fence even more secure.

Impact resistant plastic

Plastic fencing is a great

alternative to wooden

post and rails, but the

plastic (usually PVC)

used must have

been treated by the

manufacturer so as

to make it impact

resistant, with rails

that bend and give under

pressure rather than shatter.

Impact resistant plastic fencing requires much

less maintenance as it does not need painting

or treating, is less subject to weather and insect

damage, is easy to keep clean and won’t rot. This

can make it a safer option than wood, as there is

less chance for splinters causing injury, although it

must still be checked from time to time to ensure it

is not becoming brittle or damaged.

Wire netting

Although neither plain nor barbed wire fencing is

suitable for horses, several companies produce

wire netting that has been designed for use for

equine paddocks, with holes than should be small

enough so as not to entrap a hoof. To add extra

strength to the fence, a wooden rail or strand of

electric tape can be added along the top.

The benefits of this type of fencing are that is low

maintenance and easy to install, although it should

be erected professionally. It will also help to keep in

other animals that may share the field, for example

sheep or goats.

Electric fencing

Electric fencing is a popular and less expensive

alternative – or indeed complement – to post and

rail fencing, and is also ideal for use in rest and

rotational grazing systems or for when access to

grass needs to be limited, for example for laminitis

sufferers. It is generally easy to install, more

portable and can be used as either a temporary

or permanent

boundary.

All

retailers

should consider

stocking even just electric fencing starter kits or

a basic range of energisers (battery and mains

powered), poly posts, fencing materials – such

as tape, rope and polywire – and insulators. As

an add-on sale, suggest that your customer

purchases a fence tester to enable them to test

the voltage and ensure everything is working

effectively.

If stocking electric fencing, try to ensure that all

staff members have received some basic electric

fence training in case the customer requires

advice.

Fyna-Lite is celebrating 26 years of being at the forefront of innovative designed British-made stable tools and field maintenance equipment. General manager Leon Fynn explains more about the company’s ethos and manufacturing processes.

The number of products has grown considerably

since the company was started by my father

George in 1985, but the values and skills we

started with are as important today as they were

then.

Fyna-Lite started manufacturing forks in 1985 as

a reaction to the mucking out products that were

available at that time. George Fynn realised that

there was a lack of quality tools available, so he

designed his own shavings fork. From then on, the

company has grown significantly with a range of

over 50 different products.

There has always been a strong interest in horses

from the all members of the Fynn family, and this

has certainly helped with the development of the

business. We designed forks so that they could

work in our own stables; if they didn’t work well in

our yard, then that particular design or idea was

discarded. Our aim was to create a fork that was

light in weight, yet strong and with good balance

to make the job of cleaning out stables as easy as

possible.

However, it was the underlying engineering

knowledge that has been at the heart of Fyna-Lite.

George Fynn has been involved in engineering

since the late 1940’s. Originally a welder, he moved

to the UK from his native Australia as a speedway

rider. After his retirement from professional racing,

Every fork tells a story – from raw materials to despatch



he began designing and building speedway bikes.

There are elements of those speedway bike

designs and manufacturing techniques that have

been carried over to the fork and that knowledge

has been passed to me.

Skilled craftmenship

Fyna-Lite has always

believed that the skill

of the craftsman,

the use of the best

quality materials and

innovative designs

are essential to

creating the best

possible tools. Even

though technology

advancements have

meant that the forks are

made more efficiently and

to an ever higher standard,

the basic principle and production

methods have remained constant. Our investment

in tooling and machinery has been pivotal in our

quest to improve the quality of our products. As

our reliance on sub-contract services has been

cut, so the speed at which we can manufacture

each batch has increased along with ability to be

more flexible with a production run if the need

arises. By using our own in-house expertise, we

have been able to constantly improve designs to

ensure the product the customer receives is of the

highest standard.

We have always believed that if you cannot be

the market leader in terms of product design and

service to the customer, then it isn’t worth being

involved in that market. It is this belief in our own

products that is evident in the staff at Fyna-Lite.

Key members of staff have been with the company

for 10 years, and it is their knowledge and keen

attention to detail during the manufacturing

process that has helped make Fyna-Lite a market

leader.

Fyna-Lite products are now exported to

destinations all over the world. Although the UK

accounts for the majority of sales, there has been

a year on year increase in sales to the Eurozone,

Scandinavia, the Middle East, the

USA and Japan. There is a trend

among equestrian equipment

purchasers towards better

quality equipment, and

being British made is

becoming more and

more important and

valued.

Fyna-Lite now offer a

fork for every bedding

system that is available

with a handle variant

suitable for every operator.

We are currently working

at adding to the range, and of

course we are constantly improving our

processes to ensure that the end user has the best

possible tool for the job.
