SOIL is a fundamental resource on which we are all dependent and we need to take care of it. In Ireland we’re particularly fortunate in that we have very high-quality soils rich in organic matter and essential nutrients. Calcium rich limestone soils are often referenced as a key factor in Ireland’s successful history as a producer of high-quality horses. There are other characteristics such as good clay content and high organic matter levels in conjunction with a favorable climate which contribute to good quality grass production. Grass is the cheapest and best food for our horses so it makes a lot of sense to manage it properly.
