Track Systems
Horses can be encouraged to move around during turnout ( whether restricted or not ) through the use of a track system . A track system can provide them with defined grazing , browsing and investigative areas , often using a loop or figure 8 type set-up . The systems can be designed in any way to suit the horses using them . They can include non-grass areas such as woodchip and gravel areas , hills , rolling areas and treasure hunt type activities to forage for and seek food items for added enrichment . It remains important to carefully consider the design and use of these systems to promote health and relaxation for all horses .
