This is our barn and sandpit setup , with sections of the track that we call 'the curve' and 'the triangle'.
This isn't a great google image but it shows this area well.
Our triangle is able to be blocked off from the main track and be completely independent, in addition to that if I need to keep more horses separately I can incorporate the curve too and the section of track next to the barn to create two self contained shapes or one large self contained track within our large track.
Day to day both these shapes are fully open to add extra space .
The triangle is what we use for newbies, they can be self contained on their own mini track living alongside the others so when they feel safe we can start integrating them some horses are desperate to get out into the thick of it all and others are much more reserved, preferring to watch for a while.
There is no right or wrong way for me, each intro is horse led ❤️
