Roots
Changing environmental and climatic conditions challenge your forage production. Grasses that can better handle spring and early summer drought will result in a healthy and high yielding crop.
Horsemax® Mixtures
The Horsemax® range is the ideal choice for your horses' nutrition, as well as creating elite paddocks suitable for galloping and training.
Horsemax® Paddock
Long term horse grazing with an option to produce a quality hay crop. Horsemax Paddock is designed using diploid Perennial Ryesgrasses, Timothy and Creeping Red Fescue. Sward density is a key consideration as both grazing and winter feed are often produced from the same area. Timothy is much favoured by horses and in particular gives hay a sweet smell and is very palatable. Creeping Red Fescue is key to binding the sward together and because of its growth habit quickly repairs the turf when damaged by hooves.
