Which Hay is better for your horse?

 Timothy vs Orchard



  1. Standlee forage ~ nutrition information
  2. Atascadero ~ nutritional information
Each site states the opposite information regarding protein. One states Timothy is higher the other Orchard is higher.

So I went to My horse University

To find out the way to choose hay.



The bottom line:

  • Make sure your supplier is providing quality hay. 
  • Talk to your horse and find out which they like.
  • Evaluate your horses age and work requirements.
  • Check your pocket book.

Visit your local hay store and select your personal choice.

Everyone has an opinion and preference. It's good either way. As long as it's good quality hay and not full of weeds or moldy...



I hope this helps. As you know, everyone has an opinion and hands out advice freely. Double check the facts before you change your mind. Don't just listen to people. FACT CHECK for yourself.

Blessed by God
