Where weeds cluster, the soil is telling you something: low calcium, low magnesium, low phosphorus, low pH. Mineral amendments aren’t like fertiliser; they don’t “run out.” They are slow‑release amendments that change soil chemistry over months, not days. Once it’s on the ground, it dissolves into the soil profile. Mineral amendments are cumulative. Every handful you throw is another nudge toward better pH, better calcium, better magnesium, and stronger perennial grasses.

A study released in August this year in the Journal of Equine Veterinary Science into contaminants in horse feeds has found that “99 % (n = 107) of the samples tested positive for fungal metabolites, particularly Fusarium metabolites, unspecific metabolites, and pesticide residues."

As the seasons change, so do your horse's nutritional needs. Properly adjust your horse's diet to the qualities of the pasture.
