...Dot Dot Dot... Posts: 2064 Location: SW New Mexico	I have a nice arena, nice facility, and board horses.. My ground is dirt/ caliche..Not consistently good. It clods up hard when dry, and gets slick when wet. I'm asking for ideas to try and improve the ground here, without breaking my pocketbook. I use a disc, and drag 2 -7' pipe behind my poor little Mitsubishi 24h tractor.. Any ideas? Edited to add... I live in SW NM. Edited by jettster 2017-01-25 8:07 PM
