Because the stability of paddock areas are crucial to your horse’s health, it is essential to maintain quality paddock footing to avoid diseases, injury, or death.

The e-book, written by President of Lighthoof Equine Mud Management, Kelly Munro, is loaded with the best known paddock footing practices to create a better, healthier living environment for your horses. The best part is, Munro is giving away this expert advice free of charge.

“Part of our long-term goal is to provide the largest and easiest-to-access collection of free educational resources for farm owners on the web. As we make more resources available, we are e-mailing them to our subscribers so they can have instant access to the entire collection,” Munro says.

Because the stability of paddock areas are crucial to your horse’s health, it is essential to maintain quality paddock footing to avoid diseases, injury, or death.

A horse living in heavy mud may slip and pull muscles or break bones, or contract an infection from thrush, white-line or weakened hoof tissue from standing in mud too long. Horses may also suffer from exposure to the heavy amount of bacteria or parasites living in mud. These issues may sound dramatic, but they can be serious and are completely avoidable.

The Complete Guide to Horse Paddock Footing is your free ticket to a higher quality of life for your horse, and major savings in vet bills and time in maintaining your paddock area. Munro’s guide lists a variety of practical footing solutions, describing in detail the pros and cons of choices such as gravel, sawdust, rock, sand, and explains man-made products for mud control such as the Lighthoof system.

While there are many viable temporary mud remediation options for horse owners, the Lighthoof support system is an easy to use product that will permanently stabilize and vastly improve the safety and quality of your paddock footing. Based on an invention by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to stabilize roads for heavy vehicles, Lighthoof’s cell-like, honeycomb structure stabilizes the ground into a series of compact cells without preventing drainage, so mud will never collect in your paddock. It’s capable of supporting any truck, tractor, and of course, horses.
