Solutions for challenging animal palates

Grassland management for horse pastures can be tricky. The sward needs to be hard-wearing, the grass varieties must be to the animals’ liking and the sward needs to remain stable. We’ll provide you with the right solutions for challenges such as these.

The basis for a high quality horse pasture is optimally compiled grass mixes with species and varieties that are suitable for horses to graze on. This is because horses expect high standards from grassland. They graze selectively and have a deep bite in comparison to other species. This requires extremely robust, regenerative sward. Horse owners can ensure high-quality growth by paying attention to sward care, overseeding, weed control and an occupation density matched to the land and the type of end use during grassland management. The basis for a high-quality horse pasture are optimally composed grass mixes with species and varieties that are suitable for this animal species and a wide range of locations.
