[QUOTE="Dry Rot, post: 1683766, member: 4505"] I'd suggest that this is an impossible question without knowing the breed of horse. If you have natives, then you won't want a highly productive species of grass but the opposite without clover. If you are breeding TB's, a high yelding mixture might be more appropriate. What suits one will not suit another. It is quite wrong for seeds suppliers to advertise "Seeds mixtures suitable for horses" when their requirements vary. I have sown a fescue/cocks foot mixture here for my natives because I have dry sandy soil and breed Highland ponies. So far, so good -- but I'm not recommending anything!:) I am not aware of any seeds supplier who supplies mixtures specifically for good doing native ponies, though perhaps they should? There is a demand out there if they look. [/QUOTE]
