Paddock
Formula 1
.
Description
Formula 1. The most common design provides an area for exercise and is often situated near the stables. Larger paddocks may have grass maintained in them, but many are dirt or a similar natural surface. In those cases drainage
and a top layer of sand are often used to keep a suitable surface in the paddock.
In the
race horses
are saddled before a horse race.
Horse breeders may let stallions loose in a paddock or field with mares that they would like the stallion to impregnate. This allows the most natural form of mating to occur and the regularity of mating using this method promotes the chances of a mare becoming pregnant. However, high-value stallions are rarely used for breeding in this manner, as uninterested mares may severely injure them.[1]
In Australia and New Zealand the word paddock is used instead of field to describe a section of farmland, regardless of size.
