HorseHage
HorseHage is the ideal forage for all horses and ponies. It is consistent and reliable and contains just grass alone. When fed as the main forage source it can enable you to reduce your horse’s hard feed by up to a third.
HorseHage is dust free, making it ideal for when your horse has to be stabled for extended periods of time, and comes with a 100% quality guarantee.
It contains no chemical additives, mould inhibitors, flavourings, molasses or innoculants, and due to the unique fermentation process, the sugar in HorseHage is considerably lower than other forages.
HorseHage is more digestible than other forages, allowing more efficient utilisation of the available nutrients, and because it retains much of the value of fresh grass, HorseHage improves condition and adds a natural bloom to the coat.
It is cut just like hay but, instead of being allowed to dry completely, it is baled when the grass has wilted and the dry matter content has reached around 55%. This takes about 24 hours in good drying weather. The bales are then compressed to half their original size, packed and heat-sealed into double skinned plastic bags. No artificial preservatives are added, just natural fermentation inside the bag preserves the grass as HorseHage.
Ryegrass HorseHage is made from a selection of ryegrasses cut at an early stage of growth to provide optimum protein and energy levels. It is suitable for horses and ponies in moderate work.
Weight of Bale: 22 Kg approx.
High Fibre HorseHage is made from selected ryegrasses which have been allowed to mature to attain high fibre and low protein and energy levels before harvesting.
Weight of Bale: 22 Kg approx.
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.
Weight of Bale: 22 Kg approx.
Alfalfa Horsehage is a legume rather than a grass. It has higher levels of protein, digestible fibre, energy, calcium and vitamins than grass.
Weight of Bale: 22 Kg approx.
HorseHage Molasses is specially blended to contain only 35% sugar compared to 49% in some brands. It greatly improves the palatability of feeds and promotes appetite, especially among fussy feeders.
Size: 5 Litre
HorseHage Cod Liver Oil contains essential fatty acids which are vital to the growth and maintenance of cell membranes, skin and coat.
Sizes: 1 Litre and 5 Litre
