While it might seem harmless to leave manure where it falls, it quickly becomes a major issue for your horses, your pasture, and your schedule. Accumulated manure leads to poor grazing conditions, creates ideal breeding grounds for parasites, and damages your pasture’s appearance and health.
Some people choose to harrow it, but harrowing actually spreads parasite eggs across the paddock, making the problem worse.
The better solution?
Completely remove it. Regular manure collection is the best way to support strong pasture health, minimise parasite problems, and keep your horses in peak condition.
If left unmanaged, manure acts as a breeding ground for worms and parasites. By removing manure frequently, you break this cycle, naturally boosting your horses’ health and cutting down the need for chemical worming treatments.
When manure piles up, it overloads certain areas with nutrients, suffocating grass and creating barren, patchy zones. Keeping your paddocks clean encourages even, healthy grass growth across your property.
Manure attracts flies, creates odours, and leaves paddocks looking and smelling unpleasant—especially in the hotter months. Regular collection makes your paddocks more enjoyable spaces for horses and humans alike.
While harrowing might seem like a quick fix, it simply chops up and spreads manure—and parasite eggs—across your paddocks. This actually extends the worm lifecycle and increases the risk to your horses.
