Hello, my name is JoAnn Johnson
JoAnnI live in Alabama on four acres with my husband, daughter, and our three horses. We're an Air Force family. We recently moved here from central NY, so lots of my photos were taken up north.

Stella is a 8-year-old half-Percheron mare. She is our Feeder Destruction Specialist.

Jewel is a 20-year-old Haflinger. She is not allowed much grass, because she's insulin resistant.

Ally is an older Haflinger who really knows how to finesse the last bites out of a feeder toy.

I started this wiki as an experiment when I thought to myself, "What am I so passionate about that I would be willing to make a public wiki project about it?" Slow feeding horses on Paddock Paradise tracks is my answer!

The wiki format fascinates me because what's here so far is only a starting point. I'm looking forward to seeing how it develops, as members add their experiences with slow feeders and Paddock Paradise tracks.

I first started using slow feeders on my Paddock Paradise during the summer of 2006.

My personal goal is to find ways to make slow feeders work efficiently on Paddock Paradise tracks. I think slow feeders can provide that missing element: using their front teeth to bite the grass hay, allowing horses to tear it from small-mesh hay nets or grids, which provide resistance. Especially ground-level slow feeders. PP can benefit not only equine hoof and muscle, but also, if used with slow hay feeders, can help maintain a naturally balanced mouth. The way I see it, I think it's the missing piece of the Paddock Paradise puzzle.

Hi! I just joined because I'm finally getting to bring the boys home! We are currently in the process of moving from Central to Northern California, and house hunting has been a real eye opener, and I'm trying to lay out potential tracks for each one to see which works best for our needs. What I'm wondering is whether or not any of you put the arena in the center of your track? Is there a reason why not? The properties we are considering are irrigated, if we want, but I don't believe that will be an option for me b/c I have a 15 yr old who has some metabolic issues.
Thanks!
