SOWING INSTRUCTIONS

Quality Horse Pasture Seed for:

Persistent and reliable grass production
A long grazing season on most soil types
Dense, hardwearing sward
Superior mid season performance
Faster regrowth after cutting or grazing
Excellent quality hay

This blend is one of our most diverse and therefore best quality horse pasture seed products. The mixture not only increases the range of forage species intake (compared to a ryegrass only turf) but also provides the essential early, mid and late season grazing properties associated with a well constructed permanent horse pasture. Once established, it is far more reliable in mid season when lesser rainfall on a recovering cut or grazed sward can potientially slow or prevent regrowth.
Utilising a wider range of grass species including Timothy, Meadowgrass, Fescue and Cockstoot is not only proven to be beneficial to the grazing animal but also helps minimise the effects of other adverse or unseasonal weather conditions for established grass. The inclusion of some Ryegrass increases the response to fertiliser applications should higher yields for hard grazing, hay or haylage production be the priority.

We supply a very similar quality equine pasture product but without the inclusion of ryegrass for the long term grazing of Alpacas and Llamas or for any Horse and/or Pony on restrictive intake.
For full details please see Non Ryegrass Equine Pasture.

SOWING INSTRUCTIONS

The area/s to be sown should be cultivated to produce a firm, weed free seedbed clear of large stones, roots and any other loose debris.
Harrow or rake over the surface to create a thin layer of fine, loose soil (tilth) approximately 10- 25mm (1/2” – 1”) deep.
Evenly machine broadcast the horse pasture seeds at 14.00 kg per acre (35.00 kg per hectare 3.5 grams per square metre).
Please allow double the seeding rate if sowing by hand.
After sowing, gently work the applied seeds into the loose tilth a little with a light harrow or firm rake.
Finally, use a light weight (for clay ground) to medium weight (free draining ground) flat roller to squeeze the seeds and tilth down into the prepared seedbed.
This method ensures the horse pasture seeds are evenly spread, set at different depths and in good contact with the soil. All of the above helps to anchor the seeds in to position (so as not to float away during heavy or persistent rainfall) and to maintain persistent soil to seed moisture transfer for more even germination.Grass seeds may also be surface sown however, germination may be uneven and significantly slower particularly during periods of prolonged sunny, dry or windy weather even with regular irrigation
