Field Mapping Made Easy: Map Your Fields in 5 Simple Steps

Field mapping gives you one place to record your fields, horse turnout and land management, instead of notebooks, chat messages and memory.

Why field mapping matters

Grazing is one of a yard’s most valuable assets and one of the hardest to keep track of. Fields need resting, rolling, harrowing and fertilising at the right times. Horses rotate between paddocks through the season. And staff and owners often need answers that only exist in one person’s head. Field mapping is a shared record that’s quick enough for a busy morning and detailed enough for planning the year.

Map your fields in 5 steps

1. Open Fields

   Go to Yard Management > Fields and click + Add Field.

2. Find your yard

   Type your postcode into the search bar and switch to satellite view.

3. Draw your field

   Click Draw Field, click each corner of the field, drag points to adjust, then click Finish Drawing.

4. Name and save

   Name the field, pick a colour, set its status to Grazing, Resting or Empty, and click Save.

5. Add horses and actions

   Open the field to add horses and start logging work done on it.

See your whole yard on one map

Once your fields are drawn, click Overview to see them all on one map, each labelled with its name and the horses in it. Use the list on the right to show or hide fields.

Know who’s where at a glance

Add horses to a field and the field list shows exactly who is turned out where. Moving a horse takes one click, from the field or from the horse’s profile, and every horse profile shows its current field.

Keep a proper record of your land

Log rolling, harrowing, aerating, seeding, spraying, fertilising and hay cuts. Each entry can include the product, rate, supplier and cost, building a history for every field. The field summary updates itself with when it was last rested, last cut for hay and last fertilised, so there’s no hunting for receipts.

Tips to get the most from it

• Map every field, including small turnout paddocks, winter pens and hay fields.
• Use colours consistently, for example one for summer grazing and another for winter paddocks.
• Check “last rested” before moving horses, to help with rotation and recovery.
• Log costs as you go to see what each field costs over a season.
• Use the history at staff handovers, so new team members don’t rely on memory.
