Native grass for horse grazing?

This Rutgers fact sheet has basic info for horse pastures:


Iowa Extension probably has local information.

Subject: [MAIPC] Native grass for horse grazing?


Someone asked me about getting a pasture started for a horse he is going to buy.  It is something I hadn't really thought of and certainly wouldn't want to recommend any native grasses without knowing for sure they are good for horses, but I thought maybe some people here have recommendations.  The guy lives in Iowa, but I can always search the distribution of any recommendations given.
