Before you book
What a paddock fertilizing service does
Paddock fertilising and soil improvement restore the nutrients that grazing and forage removal strip out. Done on the basis of a soil test it improves sward quality and reduces weed pressure; done blind it wastes money and can produce grass that is unsuitable for horses.
When to book
Soil test in advance so results are back before the application window, which is typically spring as growth starts. Lime, if needed, is often applied separately and further ahead.
What to check first
- That they soil test first and base recommendations on the result, rather than applying a standard mix to every field.
- Whether advice is given by someone FACTS-qualified — the Fertiliser Advisers Certification and Training Scheme is the recognised UK qualification for nutrient recommendations.
- That the recommendation suits horses specifically, since high-nitrogen swards designed for dairy production are inappropriate for many horses and risky for laminitics.
- Clear guidance on how long to keep horses off after application, and whether the product used is safe for grazing stock.
Paddock Fertilizing — common questions
Should horse paddocks be fertilised?
Only on the basis of a soil test. Grazing and forage removal deplete nutrients over time, but applying fertiliser without knowing what the soil lacks wastes money and can produce a lush, high-sugar sward that is unsuitable for many horses.
How long must horses stay off after fertiliser is applied?
It depends entirely on the product used, and the manufacturer's stated withdrawal period is what governs it. Ask the contractor to confirm the product and the required exclusion period in writing before work starts.
