Northern Horse Pasture Mix

The Northern Horse Pasture Mix is a cool-season blend specifically designed to thrive in the temperate and variable climates of the Northern United States—including regions like Minnesota, Wisconsin, New York, Michigan, the Dakotas, and New England. Combining Perennial Ryegrass, Alfalfa, Timothy, Orchardgrass, and Kentucky Bluegrass, this mix delivers the ideal balance of palatability, durability, and nutrition to support healthy horses in both grazing and recreational settings.

Built to handle the shorter growing seasons, cooler temperatures, and seasonal moisture patterns of the North, this blend establishes quickly, recovers well after grazing, and creates a dense, soft footing that’s easy on hooves.

Key Benefits:

Adapted for Northern U.S. Conditions

• Performs best in areas with cold winters, moist springs, and mild to warm summers.

• Cold-hardy and able to withstand frost cycles and seasonal shifts without sacrificing forage quality.

Equine-Specific Nutrition

• Timothy and Orchardgrass offer excellent fiber and digestibility, ideal for horses prone to metabolic issues or laminitis.

• Perennial Ryegrass delivers high palatability and quick regrowth, especially useful in rotational grazing systems.

• Alfalfa adds protein and calcium for horses in work, lactation, or growing stages (recommended in moderation depending on dietary needs).

• Kentucky Bluegrass forms a soft, dense turf that handles hoof traffic well and contributes to forage diversity.

Durable and Grazing-Ready

• Excellent for pastures that support daily turnout, recreational riding, or rotational grazing.

• Withstands moderate grazing pressure and recovers quickly when managed properly.

Improves Soil and Pasture Health

• Alfalfa contributes nitrogen to the soil, supporting overall pasture productivity and reducing fertilizer needs.

Ideal For:

• Horse owners and boarding facilities in the Northern U.S.

• Pastures for turnout, grazing, and light training

• Rotational grazing and mixed-use paddocks

• Horse owners seeking safe, palatable, and sustainable forage
