I wouldn't have thought to keep pastures mowed that often.  I
would have thought that the horses would have kept it down well
enough.  
So, how tall do you let the grass get before you cut it and how short do you mow it.

I also need to ask...what is mow deck??

Thanks everyone for the great advice...keep it coming ;-)

I keep 4-5 horses on 7 acres.  If I can offer one suggestion it is to mow, mow, mow.  We have had this place for about 7 years now & the single biggest way to keep the paddocks and pastures nice is to mow mow mow.     

I think the second big thing for us is gravel gravel gravel.

MOW, Gravel and rotate, yep, those are the 3 biggies... I could not agree more... I wish I had more gravel then I do... I should have started with the big rock like you mention, as the gravel gets lost in the spring thaw every dang year... we do not plan to stay here much longer or I would do just that, start over with the big rock, then add the smaller on top...

 

what is a mower deck??
