Haylage

Our haylage is produced from an excellent quality Italian Rye Grass mix on our farm. Once baled and wrapped, the grass mildly ferments which helps retain essential nutrients that are lost during the drying and storage processes of haymaking. The fermentation process also inhibits the growth of fungal spores that add to the dust in hay, which may cause horses to have allergic reactions, leading to respiratory problems.

We take great care in the production and delivery of our haylage to ensure it reaches you at its best. Due to its excellent quality our customers often find they do not need to give their horses as much hard feed, which saves them money, making our haylage an exceptionally cost effective feeding solution. We will discuss your storage options with you to help you safeguard your bales from damage by birds, animals etc which can result in a bale spoiling. In the unlikely event there is a problem with a bale which has occurred before delivery we will remove and replace it without delay at no extra cost.

Hay

For the ‘good doers’ among the horse population we also grow and bale our own hay produced from a sward mix specifically for this use. It is particularly good for horses which become too fizzy on haylage or become overweight easily and thus prone to laminitis. We take great care in its production and storage to reduce the dust content and inhibit mould spore production. For horses with dust allergies we recommend steaming rather than soaking with water so less essential nutrients are lost.

Straw

We also supply barley straw in small conventional bales for feed and/or bedding. As a feed it can be useful for horse/ponies prone to laminitis and/or obesity when fed with an appropriate vitamin and mineral supplement as recommended by an equine nutritionist/vet. As a bedding, when used correctly, it provides a warm comfortable bed for the horse. We double bale the straw to reduce the amount of dust in each bale, which may help to reduce the incidence of dust allergies when using this product. Again we can advise on storage, so you can maintain its condition before you use it.
