Forage is the most crucial part of a horse’s diet and choosing the right one can be tricky. At Jamback Farms, we have experts to help you find the right hay for your horse!
Here are a few things to think about when choosing:
Overall Health: Looking at factors like age, teeth condition, and current body weight are important. For example, if your horse doesn’t have great teeth, you will want them to have access to a softer hay, making it easier for them to chew.
Current Nutrition: Make sure to take into consideration what your horse’s current diet looks like. How much grain are they getting? How much grass do they have access to? Are they in a stall? This will also help you figure out how much you should be feeding.
Workload: If your horse is being worked, they need a hay that will support their level of performance.
Deficiencies or Sensitivities: Some horses require strict diets due to a sensitivity to sugar or have a vitamin/mineral deficiency. We provide a hay analysis on all of our products, which is a great resource when finding the right hay.
We offer a variety of forage to suit any horse’s needs!
