“SERIOUSLY GREAT GRASS…”
VERY FEW feed or seed companies now provide the expertise required to correctly formulate equine grass mixtures. Often a mixture best suited to silage for cattle is supplied. While what horse “folk” are looking for is a sward that is tidy, hardwearing, and relatively easy to manage. What the horse is looking for is a short, dense sward that is palatable and will provide grazing for as many months of the years as possible. Our paddock grass seed is a perfect solution for this.

Equestrian grass seed is typically a mix of various grass species that are known for their durability, nutrition, and ability to withstand heavy grazing. This type of grass seed is carefully selected and cultivated to promote the optimal growth of grass that is suitable for equestrian use.
