What a hay & feed supplier does
Hay and feed suppliers provide forage and hard feed to yards and private owners. Forage makes up the bulk of most horses' diets, so consistency of supply and quality has more effect on condition and gut health than almost any other purchasing decision on a yard.
What to check before you book
- Whether forage is analysed, and whether they can supply the results — sugar and protein content matters for laminitics and good-doers.
- Batch consistency and whether they can reserve a season's supply from the same cut, since sudden forage changes upset digestion.
- Storage and handling, and whether hay is genuinely dry and free from mould and dust, which is central to respiratory health.
- Delivery access for your yard — trailer or artic access, stacking, and minimum order size.
When to book
Forage is bought most cheaply and reliably straight off the field in summer. Yards that buy a season ahead avoid both the late-winter price rise and the risk of having to switch forage mid-season.
Hay & Feed Suppliers: common questions
- Why does forage analysis matter?
- Analysis tells you the sugar, fibre and protein content of the hay or haylage you are feeding. That matters for horses at risk of laminitis, for good-doers, and for anyone balancing a ration properly rather than guessing.
- How much hay should I buy at once?
- Buying a season's supply from the same cut gives consistency and usually a better price, provided you have dry, ventilated storage. Sudden changes of forage are a common cause of digestive upset, so consistency is worth planning for.
