Timothy HorseHage


Timothy HorseHage, as its name implies is made from Timothy grass which is very similar to the famous Kentucky bluegrass of America. This grass is higher in fibre and lower in protein than many other grasses, making Timothy HorseHage particularly suitable for leisure horses and ponies, native ponies, veterans and horses and ponies that are resting, convalescing or laminitic. Timothy has a completely different 'nose' to ryegrass, from which ryegrass HorseHage and High Fibre Horsehage are made. It has a similar nutrient analysis to High Fibre HorseHage and is highly palatable, making it ideal for fussy feeders or simply to add variety to the diets of this already being fed HorseHage.
