HorseHage Ryegrass

Fuel your horse's performance, protect their respiratory system, and deliver exceptional fiber nutrition with HorseHage Ryegrass. Harvested at the optimum stage of growth from specially selected perennial ryegrass fields, this premium, dust-free haylage is the ultimate high-energy forage for competition horses, hunters, native breeds in hard work, or those needing to build great body condition.

What sets HorseHage Ryegrass apart is its specialised, completely natural fermentation process inside the bale. Sealed tightly in heavy-duty packaging, it retains a higher level of digestible energy, proteins, and essential vitamins than traditional dry hay. This creates an incredibly appetising, moist forage that simulates fresh pasture grazing. Because it is 100% dust-free, it eliminates the airborne mold spores that cause respiratory issues like RAO/COPD, helping your horse maintain clear airways, peak lung capacity, and maximum performance longevity.

📋 Stable Forage Feeding & Management Guide

Recommended Daily Feed Rates:

Replace your horse's traditional hay ration with HorseHage Ryegrass on a weight-for-weight basis. Because haylage contains slightly more natural moisture than dry hay, you may need to increase the weight of the total daily forage ration by roughly 20% to 25% to ensure they receive the exact same dry matter fiber intake.

Example: If your horse usually eats 10kg of dry hay, feed roughly 12kg to 12.5kg of HorseHage Ryegrass.

Critical Storage & Management Protocols:

1. Open with Care: Use a safety knife to slice open the tough plastic wrapping along the top line. Peel back the film to reveal the highly compressed internal forage slices.
2. The 5-Day Freshness Rule: Once the sealed plastic outer barrier is punctured and opened, oxygen enters the bale. You must feed and finish the entire bale within 5 days (or 3 to 4 days during warm summer months) to prevent spoiling.
3. Check the Wrap: Before feeding, inspect your stacked bales. If a stray cat or bird has punctured the plastic outer wrap during storage, air will have spoiled that specific section. Always discard any localised discoloured patches.
4. ⭐ Top Tip: Because HorseHage Ryegrass is highly dense in natural digestible energy, it allows you to significantly cut down on your hard feed/pellet rations—saving you money in the feed room while keeping your horse's hindgut completely healthy!
