As there is a regular demand for a ryegrass-free equine pasture, Hardy Horse blend provides a persistent and productive solution. These deep-rooted grasses combine to deliver year-round feed where moisture is available, and excellent drought hardiness. Clovers are included to balance the pasture, fix natural nitrogen and feed the pasture for the long-term. It is suitable for most soil types in the medium-high rainfall areas of temperate Australia that have typical summer dry seasons. Hardy Horse blend finds favour with horse owners and smaller operations that have a range of stock classes.
