Premium Horse Pasture Mix
Premium Horse Pasture Mix is Weaver Seed's all-grass equine pasture blend for horse properties where a diverse, grass-focused forage stand is preferred. The formulation combines orchardgrass, perennial ryegrass, festulolium, timothy and Kentucky bluegrass to provide multiple growth habits within a managed irrigated pasture.
A Diverse All-Grass Horse Pasture Blend
Premium Horse Pasture Mix combines several complementary pasture grasses to create a more diversified forage stand than a single-species planting while avoiding a significant legume component.
All-Grass Formulation
Developed for horse pasture managers who prefer a grass-focused forage stand without clover or alfalfa as major components.
Multiple Grass Species
Five pasture grasses provide different growth habits, rooting patterns and seasonal characteristics within the stand.
Productive Horse Forage
Designed to provide a productive grass forage base for properly established and managed irrigated equine pasture.
Fibrous Rooting
Pasture grasses contribute dense fibrous root systems that help maintain soil cover and pasture surface stability.
New Pasture Establishment
Suitable for establishing new irrigated horse pasture where an all-grass forage system is desired.
Pasture Renovation
Can be used for substantial pasture renovation when existing horse pasture needs to be re-established or improved.
Premium Horse Pasture Mix Components
Five complementary pasture grasses form the foundation of this all-grass equine forage blend.
Mix Component Note: Mix components are subject to change based on seed availability. Substitutions may be made with comparable species or varieties when necessary.
Planting Premium Horse Pasture Mix
Seed at approximately 25–30 lb per acre under suitable irrigated pasture establishment conditions.
Prepare a firm, clean seedbed and maintain shallow, uniform seed placement with good seed-to-soil contact. Small pasture-grass seed should not be planted excessively deep.
Maintain adequate moisture during germination and establishment to support uniform emergence and early pasture development.
Establish the Stand Before Grazing
Long-term horse pasture performance depends on establishment, irrigation, fertility, grazing pressure and adequate recovery between grazing periods.
Protect New Seedlings
Keep horses off newly seeded pasture until the grasses are well rooted and firmly established.
Rotate Pastures
Rotational grazing helps prevent repeated close grazing and allows individual pasture areas time to recover.
Allow Regrowth
Provide adequate rest between grazing periods so grasses can rebuild leaf area and remain productive.
Maintain Soil Moisture
Irrigate according to soil type, weather and plant demand while avoiding prolonged saturation or severe moisture stress.
Horse Pasture Note: Pasture performance varies with soil fertility, irrigation, planting timing, stocking rate, grazing pressure and local growing conditions. New pasture should be well established before horses are allowed to graze it.
