Good pasture management is vital for meeting the health and nutritional needs of your horses, and for ensuring the sustainability of your land and equine business.
Sustainability consultants from ADAS Equine explored how changing climate patterns and weather extremes are affecting the health and resilience of grassland pastures. We shared practical actions equine managers can take to protect and maintain grass cover all year round.
Topics covered in this one-hour webinar:
- How to promote deeper grass rooting for improved resilience to drought and poaching.
- How sacrificial field/loafing areas in both summer and winter can protect grassland.
- How to help overgrazed and poached land recover.
- Methods for looking after and improving soil health and nutrition.
