Anyone here ever put up pipe corrals on grass? I’d like to put up 3 adjacent pens (12’ x 24’ each) in one end of a pasture temporarily in order to be able to 1. confine horses while working others in the adjacent arena 2. start physically separating a 3-yo gelding who is fanatically attached to his pasture mates. I figured putting him in a pen once a day where he can see the other horses grazing nearby–starting for a few minutes and gradually increasing the amount of time–was a good way to start. I’ll give him some hay to focus on but he will be agitated.
The pasture is eaten down so no lush grass but it could get a little slippery. I will drive 7’ T-posts at intervals to support the panels, which should make the corrals strong enough to handle the 3-yo unless he goes ballistic (unlikely and I will be within eyesight any time he’s in there)
Does anyone see a (safety) problem with this setup, especially in regards to possible slipping on the grass? I think it will get churned up pretty quickly = turned to dirt. TIA
