Paddock Grass Seed Mix — CS/SFI Eligible (GS2 / GS5)

A robust grass seed mix for horse paddocks and pasture, providing durable ground cover and high-quality forage.

The Paddock Grass Seed Mix (Equi-Graze Pasture Grass Seed) is a specialist blend designed for horse paddocks and high-traffic pasture areas. It establishes a dense, resilient sward that provides both nutritious forage for horses and durable ground cover to reduce bare patches and soil compaction. Selected from Equipaddock varieties, this mix balances rapid establishment with long-term sward sustainability, making it ideal for both new paddocks and renovation projects.

With a combination of early, mid, and late perennial ryegrass, timothy, creeping red fescue, and meadow grasses, this mix ensures year-round grazing availability and supports soil structure and drainage. Its composition is carefully chosen to withstand trampling while encouraging deep rooting and a healthy grassland ecosystem. Each 14 kg bag covers one acre, offering a convenient and practical solution for small- and large-scale paddocks.

Please note, John Chambers can only advise on appropriate seed mixtures for selected schemes. For help with applications or scheme selection, please contact your farming advisor or agricultural consultant.

  • Sow in early spring or autumn for best establishment
  • Apply at 14 kg per acre, ensuring good soil contact
  • Roll or harrow lightly after sowing for firm seed-to-soil contact
  • Avoid heavy grazing until the sward is fully established
  • Regular topping maintains density and encourages even growth
