I recently bought 5 acres of sandy soil that still has soy beans that were no-till planted after corn. I would like to put in a pasture for a few horses. Should I leave the land and just seed over or work it up and then seed? What should the mix be in pasture...alfalfa, timothy, clover? Thanks...trying to learn.

check with you extension office for pasture mixes appropriate for your area. take a soil test,use the chemical supplier or yous extension office. stay away from high ratios of legumes, hard on horses.

i would want to disc and drag level.with sandy soil there should be no drainage problems to backfurrow or "W" ditch out.you don,t want your pasture too "hot" so don,t get too much clover or alfalfa in it(alfalfa is expensive to get started and hard to keep in a pasture managed for grass).if you are keeping brood mares on it the fescue pasture is not good for them or the unborn colt,often called fescue poisoning. depending on where you live and the climate any combo of the following make a good horse pasture.Timothy,red top,some red clover,bermuda,bluegrass, some alfalfa.
oats and rye as a temporary winter pasture.
soil test,lime if neccessary.fertilize with 60/60/60 in march.60 lbs nitogen in june and august horses need ph above 6 for best health of horse and pasture.
