Got a text this morning from the yard owner asking us to keep our horses in today as they are fertilizing the fields...but saying they should be fine to go out tomorrow
I'm going to try and find out which fertilizer they've used today, but as a rule is it ok to put them back out within 24hrs?

I agree with the above - when our fields are done we wait for a good rain x

Some fertilisers are very low nitrogen and based on chicken manure and as long as the grass is fairly long they can be grazed straight away, I have stopped taking them off at all.

I have used Suregrow on my paddocks and as long as the grass is not too short ponies can stay on it. I have personally moved them to another paddock, but Suregrow state it does not burn! I have used this for the last two years and it is very good and brings up lovely green grass with a good sward.

Find out whist has been used and look at absorption. But I'd wait at least a week (I wait two) to ensure the fertiliser has been taken up, nitrogen burns are not pleasant and is it really worth it?
