Transitional Horse Pasture Mix

Our Transitional Horse Pasture Mix is expertly designed to meet the pasture challenges of the Transitional U.S., where hot summers, cold winters, and unpredictable rainfall define the growing season. Blending Perennial Ryegrass, Kentucky Bluegrass, Tall Fescue (endophyte-free), Alfalfa, and Meadow Brome, this mix offers excellent seasonal balance, palatable nutrition, and long-lasting durability—perfect for equine grazing in variable environments.

Ideal for regions such as the Mid-Atlantic, Appalachian Foothills, southern Midwest, and Upper South, this pasture mix thrives in zones that are too hot for some northern grasses and too cold for southern varieties, making it a dependable, versatile choice for horse owners and land managers alike.

Key Benefits:

Adapted to Transitional Climates

• Withstands the temperature swings and soil variability common in transitional zones.

• Cool-season grasses (Ryegrass, Fescue, Bluegrass, and Meadow Brome) provide strong early spring and fall growth.

• Maintains productivity even in drought-prone summers and cold winters with proper management.

Horse-Friendly Nutrition

• Alfalfa adds protein, calcium, and energy—especially valuable for working horses, lactating mares, and growing foals (recommended in moderation).

• Perennial Ryegrass and Kentucky Bluegrass offer high palatability and dense ground coverage for soft, safe footing.

• Tall Fescue (endophyte-free) and Meadow Brome deliver persistence and grazing resilience.

Durable and Grazing-Ready

• Handles heavy traffic and rotational grazing with strong regrowth between cycles.

• Encourages deep rooting and balanced ground cover to reduce mud, erosion, and weed invasion.

Extended Grazing Season

• Cool-season base ensures early green-up in spring and grazing into late fall.

• Species diversity supports multi-season forage availability, reducing the need for supplemental feed.

Ideal For:

• Horse pastures in transitional climate zones

• Turnout areas, riding spaces, and rotational grazing systems

• Landowners seeking year-round pasture productivity and nutrient-dense forage

• Farms balancing variable weather with consistent equine care needs
