Green Acres equine mixtures are designed to overcome the problems associated with pastures grazed and utilised by horses.

Maintaining Your Paddocks

  • Equestrian Grass Seed Mix coverDo not over graze or over stock paddocks - keep a minimum stocking rate of one horse per 1.5 acres.

  • Rotate the confined area of grazing to maintain adequate grass cover.

  • Use of electric fencing can subdivide pastures into smaller acreages.

  • Good grassland management is also a critical element in parasite control for your horse.

  • Graze younger stock separately from older horses

  • Keep paddocks clean of manure droppings as much as possible

  • Keep paddocks weed free as certain plants are highly toxic to equines eg. ragwort.

  • Mixed grazing with cattle or sheep can help clean pastures due to their differing grazing habits

  • Topping can also help control worm populations in warm weather.

  • Using fertiliser helps to keep paddocks in good condition, however grass must be grazed regularly to ensure that bursts of growth do not occur, as these can lead to conditions such as laminitis or colic.

  • Always have a constant supply of clean fresh water from a safe, horse-friendly source.

  • Ensure that fencing is secure and has no sharp protruding edges.
