Sarah -
I highly recommend that you get your hands on the book
"Paddock Paradise" by Jaime Jackson. It was my answer
to giving my horses more room to move on our small
acreage, without exposing them to lush grass. The gist
of a paddock paradise is that you create fenced
'tracks' around the property, and it sounds like your
wooded area would be PERFECT for it.
I also have three horses, and their dry lot is
approximately 1/2 acre; I wish it was bigger but it
does seem to be enough room for them to tear around
without me worrying that they'll crash into something
or each other (their run-in shed is in the center so
they can run big loops around the dry lot perimeter).
The paddock paradise setup we've created has added
more room for them to move on our limited space, which
is something I had been trying to figure out how to do
for awhile.
