Paonia Paddock Paradise

About

Paddock Paradise, a track system for horses, mimics how free-roaming horses live in the wild. 10 foot wide lanes with 15-25 feet wide corners combined with the pecking order encourages movement from one activity station to another. The stations include water, shelter, hay, mineral/salt, rolling and loafing areas. The various stations with a path between stimulates and facilitates natural movement and socialization of horses within their herd, which is fundamental to a biodynamically sound horse. The increased movement stimulated by the Paddock Paradise improves the health of the whole horse, reducing stress and the risks of laminitis, metabolic disorders, and colic, improving hoof quality, soundness, and optimizes mental/emotional health
