Tips For Buying Freshly Cut Hay

It's time to buy freshly cut hay for your horse! Here are three things you should know before making that purchase.
Higher Moisture Content: Freshly cut hay usually has more moisture compared to hay that's been sitting for a year. This can sometimes cause digestive issues like loose stools in your horse.
Increased Protein Levels: First-cut hay often contains more protein. While this can be beneficial, it can also contribute to digestive upsets if your horse isn't accustomed to it.
Diet Impact: Remember, 60% to 80% of your horse’s diet should come from forage. Switching to higher protein hay can significantly change their diet. You may need to adjust their feed accordingly to maintain balance.
