What type of hedging is ideal for a field boundary which is not poisonous to horses?
28280

Hi everyone,

I am looking for hedging or trees in order to use in a field for horses.
Therefore they need to be poisonous free, fast growing and dense in order to be used as a windbreak and privacy.

I will require 120 metres therefore if anyone knows of any plants or websites I would be very glad to hear from you.

Many thanks

Nick


Hawthorn . holly and blackthorn are good as they grow dense - but not blackthorn if the horses can get into the hedge as punctures from the spines can go septic. Hazel is quick too but horses will eat it - no harm to them but you need to protect it until established. You get one year old plants, they are less than a £ each in bulk, try www.hopesgrovenurseries.co.uk or www.glebe-farm-hedging.co.uk
mine grew into a decent hedge in 3 years - not really thick yet, but 5ft tall and you certainly couldn't push through it

Are there any types of hedging plants that sheep and horses will not eat?
hedging

Planted a fortune in hedges only to give next doors hoses and sheep a good feed. Fences only work for so long - don't want the place to look like colditz.


If you want a traditional hedge, go for blackthorn - it is very dense and has the advantage of producing white blossom in the spring and a crop of Sloes in the autumn (so you can make your own sloe gin). A more cultivated alternative would be Pyracantha - take a look at this pic - http://www.english-country-garden.com/fl owers/pyracantha.htm - It has the advantage of being evergreen with glossy green leaves (which may be an important consideration) and has white flowers followed by scarlet and orange berries that wild birds love. Deer also avoid it!

Both are seriously thorny.

Whatever you choose, you will need some way to protect them whilst they are young - they will otherwise just get grazed off (young shoots of almost any plants are seemingly irresistible to sheep and horses).

Raj Rajaratnam of Galleon Group arrested in insider trading case

Federal authorities have uncovered what they say is the largest case of insider trading ever at a hedge fund – netting an alleged $20 million in illegal profits.

The case centers around billionaire Raj Rajaratnam , a partner at hedge fund Galleon Group. The Federal Bureau of Investigation arrested him on Friday in New York along with five others tied to the case.

Hedge funds have been touted in recent years to wealthy investors and pension funds as a new “asset class,” to be tapped alongside traditional stocks and bonds. Often they rack up solid returns while carefully hedging their bets (hence their name). But they are also secretive, insular, and little-regulated.

Authorities said the arrests Friday show they are pursuing fraud at high levels of Wall Street with the same determination, and the same tools, that they use on drug lords or mobsters.
