HorseHage dust-free bagged forage is a tried and trusted product that has been around for over 40 years. During this time it has been awarded a Royal Warrant and its stable of products has grown from the original Ryegrass HorseHage to four varieties in total, allowing all types of horses and ponies to enjoy the benefits of this high quality, all-natural forage.
With two varieties suitable for feeding to horses and ponies prone to laminitis (High Fibre and Timothy), it offers energy choices for equines that are resting, convalescing or in light work as well as those in hard work or competing with professional riders.
Made from selected grasses which have been grown specifically for this purpose, HorseHage undergoes rigorous testing throughout its production to ensure that it meets the criteria set for FEMAS (Feed Materials Assurance Scheme) and the BETA (British Equestrian Trade Association) NOPS (Naturally Occurring Prohibited Substances) certification. Both these feed marks mean that the product is manufactured from premium ingredients which are fully traceable and that it has been produced under the highest industry standards.
HorseHage is consistent and reliable and contains no chemical additives, mould inhibitors, flavourings, molasses or inoculants and, surprisingly, due to the unique fermentation process, the sugar in HorseHage is considerable lower than other types of forage.
The equine diet should really consist of up to 100% forage so it makes sense that this should be the most important feeding decision made by any horse or pony owner. Feeding a high quality forage can make a real difference to your horse or pony’s diet and when HorseHage is fed as the main forage source, it can enable you to reduce their hard feed by up to a third. Because it is so digestible compared to other types of forage, it allows more efficient utilisation of the nutrients it provides and so can help improve condition and add a natural bloom to the coat.
HorseHage is used by both ordinary leisure riders as well as the professionals such as event riders, Mary and Emily King and Padraig McCarthy; show-jumper, Spencer Roe; dressage rider, Beverley Brightman; para-equestrian rider, Roberta Sheffield and endurance rider - Jeni Gilbert.
So whatever type of owner and/or rider you may be, choosing the best possible forage choice for your horse or pony should mean choosing HorseHage – 100% guaranteed!
