I wasn't sure where this could go, so if this isn't the right place, feel free to move it Mods.
I am going to be moving my horses from a stable to my house. We are tired of boarding there and getting taken advantage of(really long story) so we have cleared a field for the horses to come to our house. Some landscaping people are coming to do the final grade and we've put in drainage pipes and all that good stuff. My question is, what kind of grass is the best to plant for horses as far as nutrition is concerned? Also, would I need to also feed them pellets or hay like they are getting now at the stable? We will have two paddocks with grass so we can rotate the fields. I just want to give them the best grass to graze on and am not experienced with that at all. Where they have been kept for the past 10 years doesn't have grass in the paddocks, so they are being fed twice daily pellets and grass hay. Any ideas or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much!
