Horses need grass. It plays a vital part in their nutrition, health
and well-being, and good grassland management results in a
cost-effective way of feeding them. However, all too often horses
at grass are either poorly managed or managed according to normal
agricultural practice, which does not provide good pasture for
them. This informative book explains everything which needs to be
considered when managing grasslands to benefit the horse, the
vegetation and the environment. The book examines the horse's
grazing habits and its requirements when at grass, and goes on to
present an overview of the range and types of grasslands found in
Britain and their suitability for the horse. Details are given of
how to assess a pasture and identify significant plants, and the
methods and outcomes of various management practices are discussed.
The role of horse owner as land manager is set in the wider context
of stewardship of the countryside, with considerations for
preventing pollution and protecting wildlife. Of particular
assistance to the reader will be the appendix, which gathers
together information on the suitability of grassland plants for
horses, and the many instructive illustrations. For horse owners
and managers and everyone with an interest in managing grassland or
conservation grazing, Managing Grass for Horses is essential
reading.
