Creating Climate-Resilient Equine Pastures Webinar
Wednesday 20 August, 13.00 - 14.00
Good pasture management is vital for meeting the health and nutritional needs of your horses, and for ensuring the sustainability of your land and equine business.
In this one hour webinar, sustainability consultants from ADAS Equine, Zoe and Sarah, will explore how changing climate patterns and weather extremes are affecting the health and resilience of grassland pastures. We will also share practical actions equine managers can take to protect and maintain grass cover all year round.
Topics we will cover in this webinar will include:
- How to promote deeper grass rooting for improved resilience to drought and poaching.
- How sacrificial field/loafing areas in both summer and winter can be used to protect grassland.
- How to help land that has been overgrazed or poached recover.
- Methods for looking after and improving soil health and nutrition.
There will be time at the end to ask your specific land management and grazing questions.
