Paddock Paradise Project Ontario

Hi! I am posting the before photos of my long needed paradise paddock project! I am in the Kawartha Lakes area of Ontario.
This is a 4 acre property which is currently divided into a few paddocks and the larger field. Every year I have a problem where
nobody can use the large field. It is a complete waste. We can now put a track around the larger field and either use the large
middle for grazing for one horse or turn it into a market garden for my son to use in the summer. 1  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

Sounds wonderful! I like the idea of turning your unneeded rich field into a market garden. What type of electric fence will you be using?

Not sure. I have used electro braid which is more expensive but nice on the hands when you are putting it up. I will just buy a cheap
nylon type of rope. I am on a budget so will just get the fence up as cheap as possible. I have a ton of work to do but want to get this started
now. My son is doing a summer garden business and we are using a large garden up the road and out little tiny one.
Next year we could always plow the back and use it without bothering the horses at all. This is just a great idea of doing a track. I don't know why
I didnt think of this earlier....like 10 years ago!! Do you find this valuable?
