Horse meadow for overseeding

Ideal overseeding mixture for dense, healthy horse pastures

Profile

Horse pastures are exposed to heavy daily stress: sharp tread, deep browsing and the weather, often leading to gaps in the sward. This overseeding mixture has been specifically developed to address these conditions.

High-performing perennial ryegrass promotes fast establishment and effective gap closure through its rapid early growth and excellent competitiveness. The robust turf-type varieties included in the mixture regenerate quickly and remain resilient under intensive wear.

The mixture is complemented by high-yielding forage grasses and a targeted proportion of timothy. Together, they improve nutritional value, support a stable sward composition and provide high palatability — ideal for sustainable, horse-appropriate pasture use.

The result: A dense, resilient sward, healthy pasture development and a high-quality forage for your horses — season after season.

  • Fast establishment and strong competitive ability – ideal for overseeding heavily used pastures with gaps
  • Highly regenerative turf types – resilient under sharp tread and deep browsing
  • High-yielding forage grasses with timothy – for palatable, nutrient-rich feed
