Proposed Pasture Mixture 25% timothy (but it doesn’t stand up well to grazing)


25% orchard grass – short-lived (3 to 4 years), establishes rapidly, very palatable


10% chicory – brings nutrients from the topsoil to the surface to benefit other grasses


15% Kentucky bluegrass – intolerant of drought and high temperatures, highly palatable, easily established and managed


15% Rye Grass – tolerates wet soils and close continuous grazing, palatable, long growing season


5% clovers – intolerant of dry spells; clover- rich pastures can in some horses cause gas, bloat and, occasionally, symptoms like “mud fever”


5% alfalfa (in very small amounts) – highly drought-resistant, offers highest yield potential, palatable chlorophyll, 16% proteins, rich in minerals: potassium, magnesium, calcium, iron, phosphorus, trace minerals, sodium sulfur
