Skye, To put in our track was not very expensive at all... I put in push in posts at less then 2 bucks a post and some yellow or white wire...., I put in a T post on every side of the big East inner Oval.... the rest are just push in posts....
the gravel, well, that was there before I did the track, as we have TONS OF BOOT SUCKING OFF MUD, I got tired of walking in my socks.... I added a couple truck loads each year, unfortunately, it is getting a lot more expensive here... hay, well we feed 700 lb bales, they get on leafs 2-3 times a day spread out when the weather permits... today was to windy to spread out... along with letting them into the ovals once a day for grass... no added cost there, cause we could not feed full time on grass anyway, they got to fat and one mare we had, a Paso Fino Foundered... this way they are all looking good, cause they MOVE a lot searching for grass or hay... and just moving, running, plalying... Here is a picture of Joe Camps Track on 1.5 acres of land... I love his rocks and hillside... http://www.nakedhorsemanship.com/horseboarding.htm Oh by the way, I have been reading his New book... I LOVE IT so far... I and my horses love our track system, take a look~~~ http://picasaweb.google.com/dakota.charm/TrackForHorses
