Re: [RC] Pasture with lots of alfalfa in it - Susan E. Garlinghouse, DVMI personally wouldn't put a horse straight out onto alfalfa pasture, it's just asking for problems. I know if the pasture were seeded with other grasses, the non-alfalfa species will eventually crowd the alfalfa out, but in the meantime, I'd be careful. Heidi might have some experience with being able to cut the alfalfa down as short as possible to make it potentially horse-safe.

It has lots of alfalfa in it, but less than 50%. Is this too much to just throw the horses out on? (realizing I will have to limit their grazing for the first week or two due to the change from their present pasture) They have been getting alfalfa pellets on a regular basis. If so, does anyone know the best way to get rid of the alfalfa without killing the grass?
