Topic:Pasture Management
Pasture management involves the strategic planning and implementation of practices to maintain and improve pastureland used for grazing horses. It encompasses various aspects such as soil health, forage selection, grazing patterns, and weed control. Effective pasture management aims to optimize forage availability and quality, support horse health, and sustain the ecological balance of the pasture environment. Key components include rotational grazing, soil testing, fertilization, and the management of stocking rates. This page aggregates peer-reviewed research studies and scholarly articles that explore the methodologies, outcomes, and environmental impacts of pasture management practices in equine settings.
Feeding Horses. A method of preparing hay for feeding to a horse includes placing the hay within the upper compartment of a vessel containing a mesh grid that divides the interior of the vessel into upper and lower compartments, and introducing steam into the lower compartment by means of an atomiser containing a plurality of fins.

Influence of stud farm, birth month and birth year on body weight of thoroughbred foals raised on pasture in Argentina: A 10-year longitudinal study. Background: Growth is a critical stage influencing the future athletic performance and economic value of Thoroughbreds. In pastoral systems, extrinsic factors may exert a particularly strong influence on development.Objectives: To analyze the influence of stud farm, birth month, and birth year on body weight of Thoroughbred foals raised in pastoral systems.Methods: A 10-year longitudinal study (2009-2018) included 2408 Thoroughbred foals (51% females, 49% males) from seven stud farms of Pampas region. Body weight was recorded from 5 to 19 months of age. The Brody model was used to estimate ind...
Crabgrass as an equine pasture forage: impact of establishment method on yield, nutrient composition, and horse preference. Warm-season grasses (WSG) incorporated into traditional cool-season rotational grazing systems to increase summer yields are typically established in monoculture in separate pasture areas. Few studies have evaluated alternative interseeded establishment of WSG, despite potential benefits for improving biodiversity and land-use efficiency. The objective of this study was to determine the impact of establishment method (monoculture vs. interseeded) on crabgrass pasture forage yield, nutritive value, and preference under equine grazing. Three adult standardbred mares grazed two main plots on two ...
