Equine Mixtures

HORSE & PONY MIX

Horse & Pony is a long-term paddock mix which can be grazed all-year round. It produces palatable forage for intensive grazing. The mix can also be shut up to produce a sweet smelling, high quality hay if this is the preferred option. The dense base also provides persistency under tight grazing and means that the mix copes well with hoof damage.

HORSE & PONY OVER SEEDING MIX

A medium/long-term over-seeding mixture for general improvement of your horse paddocks. For maximum success, make sure you open up the existing sward by grazing hard and harrowing which will provide access to the soil and space for the newly sown plants to establish. This mix can then be either broadcast or shallow drilled before rolling, which will ensure maximum seed to soil contact.
