Summary, Etc.  

요약The horse industry provides $122 billion dollars of value added to the U.S. economy, with a $50 billion dollar direct impact to GDP (AHC, 2017a). The use of horses is incredibly diverse, ranging from rescues and recreation sectors to working horses and the competition and racing sectors. Horse owners and enthusiasts are a welcoming community with a strong desire to educate themselves and improve the health of their horses, increase production of their land, and minimize labor and feed costs. In the age of digital media, there are numerous online forums and popular press websites to share information. In addition to, and perhaps despite this, many owners look for scientific information to validate their management decisions. This feedback allows us to keep track of questions and issues that horse owners are having today. In turn, this leads us to new research to answer these questions. Three specific areas of interest are highlighted in this dissertation-alternate forages and ways to improve existing pastures, how to manage horse bodyweight and body condition, and ways to ease or reduce the labor involved in farm management.Perennial ryegrass (PRG) is a high quality and yielding forage that, until recently, lacked the winterhardiness to persist in the upper Midwest. The objective was to evaluate the yield, persistence, forage nutritive value, and livestock preference of a new winterhardy PRG cultivar ('Forageur') grown in monoculture and in mixture with white clover under horse and cattle grazing. Research was conducted in St. Paul (SP) and Grand Rapids, MN (GR). Meadow fescue (MF), tall fescue (TF), orchardgrass (OG), and three perennial ryegrass varieties ('Forageur', 'Remington', and 'Spreader IV') were seeded in 2015 (SP) and in 2016 (GR)
