Our boom sprayer has been heading out on hire a lot over the last few weeks, so I thought I’d explain why!
Many horse owners find themselves spending more and more money on baleage because their paddocks are overgrazed, grass growth can’t keep up with demand, and the pasture becomes thin and patchy.
Before long, there’s more soil than grass in some areas, and rain instantly turns those areas into mud.
The solution isn’t simply feeding more hard feed or buying more baleage. Baleage should be a compliment or top-up to grass, not a necessity.
The real solution is building strong, healthy pasture with strong root development and consistent grass growth.
Thick, healthy grass provides the fibre and nutrients your horses need while helping paddocks stay productive year-round.
While many people think about fertilising in spring, it’s just as important to fertilise at this time of year too. The goal isn’t to create lush, high-sugar grass, but to encourage strong root systems and healthy high-fibre pasture, that fills your horse’s belly and supports their nutritional needs.
Healthy roots Equal healthy grass = healthier paddocks Equal happier horses & healthier bank accounts 🙌🏼🦄
