Dryland Horse Mix
Dryland Horse Mix combines four grasses with subclovers and Persian clover to create a diversified dryland pasture planting. The formulation is designed for horse pasture situations where seasonal rainfall is the primary source of moisture.
Mix Components
Four grasses form the pasture base, while multiple subclovers and Persian clover add a complementary broadleaf legume component.
Mix Component Note: Mix components are subject to change based on seed availability. Substitutions may be made with comparable species or varieties when necessary.
Diverse Dryland Horse Pasture
Dryland Horse Mix combines several grass growth habits with a focused clover component for a diversified pasture stand.
Four-Grass Foundation
Orchardgrass, Blando brome, annual ryegrass and Hardinggrass provide multiple grass types within the pasture stand.
Clover Component
Two subclover varieties and Persian clover add broadleaf forage and additional plant diversity to the grass-based pasture.
Biological Nitrogen Fixation
Successfully inoculated and nodulated clovers can fix atmospheric nitrogen within the soil-plant system.
Mixed Plant Structure
Multiple grasses and broadleaf legumes provide different leaf forms and growth habits within the established stand.
Dryland Pasture Focus
The formulation is intended for pasture systems that depend primarily on seasonal rainfall rather than regular irrigation.
Horse Pasture Application
The mix provides a dedicated multi-species option for establishing or renovating dryland horse pasture.
Establishment Depends on Seasonal Moisture
Dryland pasture establishment is closely tied to rainfall timing and soil moisture. Plant when conditions provide enough moisture for germination and early seedling development, and protect the new stand from grazing until plants are well established.
Dryland Pasture Note: Establishment and pasture performance depend on rainfall, soil conditions, planting timing, fertility, grazing pressure and local climate. Dryland results can vary substantially between sites and seasons.
