Our Horse Pasture Mix is a blend of highly palatable cool-season grasses that is well suited for horse pasture or hay production. These grasses can tolerate the close grazing habits of horses and will meet the nutritional needs of any performance class of horse. Since palatability is a high priority in horse pastures, we avoid using any grasses that become too coarse as they mature. This ensures an attractive option for season-long grazing.
