Pastures
tamed, pastures become un
productive, parasite infested and a
very expensive use of land.
However, anyone who owns or
plans to buy a horse or pony should
provide it with a high quality
pasture, advises University of
Delaware equine specialist C.M.
Reitnour.
Custom seeding, liming and
fertilizing make small pasture
areas possible today for horse
owners who have little or no
equipment. Horse pastures differ
sharply from those used to produce
hay - an enterprise usually so
expensive in small fields as to be
nearly prohibitive, the specialist
says. Several specialized pieces of
equipment are needed and unless
the cost can be spread over several
tons of hay, it’s often cheaper to
buy the hay.
the tendency of horses to walk
fence lines, congregate fecal
droppings and selectively graze
adds to the difficulties of pasture
management. Each practice
places a stress on pasture grasses.
Horses relish closely cropped
grass and will avoid old or tall
grass unless forced to eat it
because of a limited food supply. If
an excessive amount of clipping is
necessary to keep the pasture
vegetative and palatable, it’s
probably undergrazed, Reitnour
says. A high quality pasture should
accommodate one 1,000-pound
horse or two 300-pound ponies per
acre. Over-grazing is equally
damaging and both can rum a good
pasture.
It is possible to improve an old
pasture simply by changing
management practices. Most run-

down pastures are infested with
weeds which compete with
desirable grasses for water and
nutrients. Weeds can be controlled
by using recommended herbicides
and/or good pasture management
through fertilization and clipping.
A quality horse pasture will have
a balance of grass and legumes
such as clover or alfalfa. These
plants fix atmospheric nitrogen
and supply it to grasses in the
mixture more uniformly and
cheaply than any other source,
Reitnour says. Grazing and fer
tilization practices should be
aimed at maintaining a good
balance of legume in the mix.
Lime, high potassium and close
clipping will encourage clover,
whereas high nitrogen, light
grazing or mowing above 3 to 4
inches will favor grass and sup
press clover.
Follow soil test recom
mendations in applying lime and
fertilizer. Pasture soils should
have a pH of about 6.5 with mineral
levels (phosphorus and potassium)
kept in the high range.
For each acre of established
pasture, the specialist offers the
following recommendations:
* Destroy weeds.
• Apply ground limestone to
maintain a pH of about 6.5.
* Apply 75 pounds of P 205 and
150 pounds of K2O (500 pounds of 0-
15-30 or the equivalent).
Some pastures are too run-down
to save simply by adding fertilizer,
Reitnour concludes. If the right
grasses and legumes aren’t
present, he recommends a com
plete reseeding.
