Paddock Care

All manure is collected on a regular basis using our world renowned patented PC900 & PC1800 Nicholson Paddock Cleaners. By eliminating most parasites and pathogens we are able to maintain a healthy, manure-free environment. We do not harrow our paddocks thereby preventing the spread of manure. This prevents manure being re-consumed by ponies and adds greatly to their overall health.

Our ponies are  only wormed when necessary. In this way we are hugely reducing the chance of parasite resistance to drenches. If you wish to learn more about paddock cleaning visit the Nicholson Paddock Cleaners website.
