question about ring rollers

FYI we are located in Western Washington just North of Seattle.
Thanks for any help or words of wisdom you can provide!

A pasture harrow (some times called a chain harrow) may be more usefull tool. If you use it often enough it will level out the mole hills and scatter manure in the pastures and comb out the thatch. If you can find one, a spike tooth harrow can also be used. You can also make various kinds of drags out of tires, timbers or even old pallets. The object is to move the soft soil into a level configuration.

The problem I used to have when I lived in Western Washington with moles was not the humps that they left but the hollows where the ground caved in. That"s probably more dangerous for jumping horses. I don"t think anything short of tillage will deal with them. possibly spreading sand and then dragging would do it but that messes up the ground plays hob with the grass. You just may have to build a corral and bed it with sand and then you might be able to control the surface for jumpers.

Where abouts north of Settle are you located. I lived in King and Pierce County for many years and did my WSU Extension Livestock Advisor training in Snohomish County.

thanks for the replies to my question about ring rollers. your advice definitely helps. Jerry, we are located up between Lake Stevens and Granite Falls in Snohomish County. We bought an old Dairy farm and converted it into a horse facility.

In answer to your idea about creating a corral - we already have a jumping arena with sand footing but the training is for cross country jumping and so we have an area of about 15 acres with various types of jumps built in. It needs to be grass, but I was just hoping to try to keep it somewhat flat. I will try a weighted down drag harrow along with some sections of train track pulled behind it.

Best Regards.
