Turnout Rotation Planner Guide

The Turnout Rotation Planner creates a weekly paddock rotation schedule that balances horse needs with pasture health.

How to use it:

Enter the number of horses

Enter the number of available paddocks

Set daily turnout hours

Click Generate to create the rotation

Key considerations:

Group compatibility: Gender, temperament, and age affect turnout groupings

Pasture rest: Ideal rotation gives each paddock 30+ days of rest

Weather backup: Have a plan for days when turnout is limited

New horses: Introduce new horses gradually to established groups

Parasite management: Rotating paddocks helps break parasite lifecycles. Combine with a regular deworming program guided by fecal egg counts.
