Our comprehensive guide delves into the world of track systems and paddock paradises for horses, revealing the remarkable benefits of outdoor living that contribute to their improved health and happiness.
What is a Track System or Paddock Paradise for Horses?
A track system, often referred to as a paddock paradise, is a revolutionary approach to horse management that mimics the natural behaviors and movements of horses in the wild. Unlike traditional stall-based living arrangements, a track system involves creating a trail-like layout around the perimeter of your property, allowing horses to move freely in a controlled environment. This system is designed to encourage continuous movement, social interaction, and mental stimulation for horses.
Why Are Horses Healthier and Happier
Living Outdoors 24/7?
- Natural Movement: Horses are biologically predisposed to be on the move throughout the day. In a track system, horses can graze, walk, trot, and canter as they please, promoting healthy circulation, stronger muscles, and improved joint health.
- Digestive Wellness: Grazing on varied terrain encourages horses to consume smaller, frequent meals, which aligns with their natural grazing habits. This aids in better digestion, reduced colic risk, and improved weight management.
- Social Interaction: Horses are social animals, and a track system encourages positive interactions with other horses, reducing feelings of isolation and promoting mental well-being.
- Mental Stimulation: The dynamic environment of a paddock paradise engages horses' minds as they navigate varying surfaces, obstacles, and natural features. This mental stimulation helps prevent boredom and stereotypic behaviors.
- Hoof Health: Regular movement on diverse surfaces, such as grass, gravel, and soft ground, promotes proper hoof wear and contributes to overall hoof health.
- Stress Reduction: Being outdoors allows horses to experience fresh air, natural sunlight, and a sense of freedom. This environment can lead to reduced stress levels and a calmer disposition.
- Weight Management: The constant movement and access to forage in a track system can help prevent obesity and related health issues, leading to a healthier overall weight.

For Rehabilitation :
Horses experience optimal rehabilitation in an outdoor setting, where they can freely move, access fresh and nourishing water, enjoy unlimited roughage, and engage in unhindered social interactions. Through the utilization of natural therapeutic approaches such as equine acupressure/shiatsu, muscle massage, specialized horse nutrition, energetic interventions, cranio sacral therapy, aroma therapy with essential oils, herbal remedies for horses (phytotherapy), and Bach flower essences, I facilitate your horse's organic and holistic recovery journey. These methods work synergistically to encourage the restoration of homeostasis, harnessing the innate self-healing capacity within the horse's body.
The paddock paradise or track system is ideal for horses with :
- hoof issues
- digestive problems
- joint problems e.g. osteoarthritis, varicose veins, tendon problems (where movement is paramount)
-
muscle and mobility problems
-
stable problems e.g. air sucking, crib biting, weaving, .
-
skin problems e.g. eczema, fungi, mange, .
In rehabilitation* we create a health plan for each horse. This involves an anamnesis and a step-by-step plan. Using herbs, aromatherapy, Bach Blossoms and various acupressure techniques, your horse is treated on a structural level (mobility : joints and muscles), on a cranio-sacral and visceral (organs) level.
*horses with fever and viral infections will not be admitted
