What liquid fertilizer is safe to use on my small horse pastures? What guidelines should I follow? Any brands that have worked well for you, please share. I have asked dealers and read articles online. Now I am really confused! Thanks for your help!

I don't think that you would want to use liquid fertilizer on your horse pasture as the salt and nitrogen will burn what is growing at this point. I would use dry urea for the nitrogen and dry 11-52-0 which is phospherus and 0-0-60 which is potash. It will fall down thru the growing material and not burn your pasture.

Your county extension office will soil test for you and give you a recommendation for pasture fertility based on that. We always get it flown onto ours when there's some extra in the plane from doing the crops, so my fertility is a mess. LOL. And we do granular-only on the pasture. Liquid is applied differently and not over the top.

After getting a soil test done you can use liquid but it will burn more then dry. You will need to mix it at least 50/50 if not more water to minimize burn. Liquid is also normally more expensive then dry just an FYI. Talk to your local co-op or Extension office as either will be versed in fertility.
