Resting Pasture for Horses

If you have a lot of horses grazing on one field or pasture chances are they are going to eat the grass down pretty quickly. If possible, rotate your horses to another pasture to help preserve and rest the pasture. For instance, if your horses are eating down pasture one, but pasture two has plenty of grass then move them. While they eat down pasture two you can rest pasture one. In addition to rest, you should also drag the pasture to grind up the manure and allow it to work as fertilizer. If possible, water the pasture. If that’s not possible, try and allow it to receive several rain showers to help nourish the grass back to life. Be careful not to let horses eat the grass all the way down or it will be hard to re-grow the grass. For more tips, talk with your Teller County, CO veterinary clinic.
