Maintaining horse pastures properly is essential for the health and nutrition of the animals. Horses require nutrient-poor, low-energy grasses that are specifically suited to their needs. Effective pasture management includes selecting appropriate grass species, regular maintenance through fertilization, harrowing, and mulching, as well as targeted control of toxic plants. Soil analyses help ensure the correct nutrient balance. Additionally, pastures should be divided into sections, with horses rotated periodically to prevent overgrazing. Optimal management ensures a natural and healthy forage base for horses.
