The 2012 Horse Pasture Management Calendar

This colourful advisory calendar is A3 size (A4 size when closed) and contains monthly advice on managing pastures for all-round benefit. In addition to providing advice on timely land management (e.g when to test soil nutrients, when to trim hedges and carry out harrowing and rolling etc.), the calendar also features crime prevention tips. The calendar contains some fantastic photographs this year, thanks to the people who sent copies in and also Equine Photographer, Samantha Lamb, who allowed the Project to use a number of her great photographs. Please keep the photographs coming for future calendars! The calendar will help horse owners to keep pasture in a productive and safe condition whilst also being sensitive towards wildlife, the landscape and the environment.

We are all aware of the current pressures on countryside and open spaces. This magnifies the importance of ensuring landscape character is preserved and wildlife potential is achieved at horse-keeping sites. Under appropriate management, stables and grazing offer ideal wildlife habitats.
