| | Alberta is home to more than 300,000 horses, representing 35 per cent of all the horses in Canada. As the popularity of horses continues to rise, so too does the number of small farms and acreages, and boarding stables. As a result, the amount of land dedicated to housing and feeding horses continues to increase.
.
The land management decisions you make affect your property, and they can also affect adjoining lands. By taking the initiative to become a responsible steward of the land, you will be a positive example in your community.
Whether you are boarding at a stable, own an acreage, or house horses on a farm or ranch, specific environmental land management practices can benefit your horse's health and well-being. The decisions you make for housing and pasturing your horses have a major effect on the land and your horse's productivity.
This guide has been compiled to provide you with options and references to help you manage the manure pile, maintain and improve your pastures, and provide a healthy and beautiful piece of land to live and ride on. Take note of the tips and beneficial management practices detailed throughout this publication.
