| Re: Welcome ..... Hi there!! I'm Sheryl from the Southern Highlands of NSW Australia. ..signing in for the first time. Great forum, thanks for the invite to join.I would probably be one of the most regular clients of our local arborist and tree crew....we are always working on the properties heritage listed trees....also plant hundreds of new ones every year, and selectively remove some old giants that's time has come. When you have time , check our website (although its a horsey one) it features quite a lot of the grounds and beautiful old trees here. I was in the US last November for a horse show, and was blown away by the beautiful work on the trees in San Francisco and Kentucky...took lots of pics of the silhouette work and crown lifts that really made an impressive impact on the street trees there. I am sure I will find lots of interesting posts here! Off to do some catch up reading on the forum. Sheryl website: highlandparkshowhorses.com Last edited by sheryl : 20th April 2008 at 02:14 AM.

| Re: Welcome ..... yes, I can understand where you are coming from, horses can be intimidating at times due to their somewhat unpredictable nature. Trees and horses dont always go together that well either...it saddens me to see a good specimen in a paddock where horses have been busy ringbarking. We go to great lengths to protect our trees... timber guards or electric fencing works a treat... Sheryl highlandparkshowhorses.com |

| Re: Welcome ..... Yeah, what's the deal with that? One customer I have has horses then out of the blue they decide to ringbark half the trees yet they were in that area for years. They just do it periodically. Cant taste good.

| Re: Welcome ..... Chewing wood...i.e fence rails, timber frame in stables or the bark of trees can become a habit due to boredom, for horses held in stables,yards or a bare / overgrazed paddocks...not so much 'windsucking or cribbing on the trees, although that can be the case on rails and timber they can grasp and suck back on. We separate our horses to just one horse to a 5 acre paddock here so there is plenty of grazing, and we have found that during the day when they rest in the shade of a paddock tree, they would occassionally start to work on the bark. ...so all trees at risk where protected....new plantings of trees are kept outside the paddock fence perimeter or in the corners of the paddocks, with timber rails and off set electic wire to keep them off. This works well for us. Lack of fibre in the diet is also thought to be a contributing factor...ours are given ample hay, pasture and minerals but we still would not leave a tree un protected in the paddock! Not all horses will do it, but the risk is always there, particularly if several are sharing the paddock and one starts on the trees...the others will join in copying the habit. Too many trees are lost to lack of management. Even new fence rails, painted with a black wood perservative is not a deterrent....we have had them chewed down...but in yards only....which brings back the boredom issue I guess. Some people wrap wire netting around the trees to keep horses off, this will be effective so long as it is adjusted as the tree mature to remain effective. Sheryl highlandparkshowhorses.com |
