Build a Healthier, More Durable Horse Pasture
Horses place unique demands on a pasture. They graze closer to the ground than cattle and create significant traffic pressure as they move, run, and congregate. HorseMaster® Pro is specifically formulated to withstand those challenges while providing highly palatable, nutritious forage for horses of every stage, from broodmares to studs.
Why Choose HorseMaster® Pro?
Built for Grazing and Durability
Horses are not your average grazers. They have both upper and lower teeth, allowing them to graze grass very close to the soil. Their natural behavior also places significant traffic pressure on the pasture, which can quickly create thin or bare areas.
HorseMaster® Pro combines grasses with low growing points, strong tillering, and excellent traffic tolerance to develop a dense, resilient sward. This helps the pasture withstand close grazing and hoof traffic while maintaining productive vegetative growth.
A Comprehensive Mixture for Horse Pastures
HorseMaster® Pro contains late-maturing orchardgrass, continental tall fescue, perennial ryegrass, timothy, and Kentucky bluegrass. Each species contributes complementary strengths, creating a balanced pasture with durability, forage quality, seasonal production, and dependable persistence.
Premium Grass Varieties
The grasses in HorseMaster® Pro are selected to provide highly palatable forage and an excellent source of digestible fiber. Together, they support strong dry matter production while creating a nutritious grazing environment for horses. The mixture includes:
- Late-maturing orchardgrass for palatability and forage quality
- Continental tall fescue for durability and persistence
- Perennial ryegrass for rapid establishment and forage quality
- Timothy for palatable, digestible forage
- Kentucky bluegrass for a dense sward and tolerance to close grazing
Rapid Establishment for New and Existing Pastures
HorseMaster® Pro establishes rapidly, making it an excellent choice for creating new horse pastures or thickening older stands that have become thin or worn. Faster establishment helps develop ground cover sooner and reduces the time vulnerable soil remains exposed.
Persistent Under Traffic and Grazing Pressure
Once established, HorseMaster® Pro produces a persistent pasture that responds well to rotational grazing and appropriate rest periods. Its dense growth and low growing points help it recover from grazing and maintain productive forage under the repeated traffic typical of horse pastures.
How HorseMaster® Pro Improves Your Pasture
Highly Palatable, Digestible Forage
HorseMaster® Pro produces palatable forage with an excellent level of digestible fiber. This gives horses access to nutritious grazing while helping pasture managers maintain productive forage throughout the growing season.
Robust Growth and Resilience
A combination of low growing points, dense growth, and persistent forage species helps HorseMaster® Pro withstand close grazing and repeated hoof traffic. The result is a more resilient pasture with fewer thin and damaged areas.
High Dry Matter Production
HorseMaster® Pro is designed to produce substantial quantities of nutritious forage, helping pasture managers make better use of available acreage and support the grazing needs of their horses.
Versatile Pasture and Hay Use
HorseMaster® Pro is primarily designed for horse pastures, but it may also be used for hay production. It can be established as a new seeding or used to thicken an existing pasture, providing flexibility for a variety of equine forage programs.
