myths are associated with feeding
horses than with most other ani
mals. In part, this may be because of
lack of current research information
on equine feeding and nutrition.
In addition, many horse owners
may have little agricultural experi
ence and may be owning a large
animal for the first time. Both art
and science are involved in properly
feeding a quality race, draft, per

Horses fed high quality alfalfa hay

these previous myths to be false.

Lancaster Farming, Saturday, April 21,2001, Foraging Around-
Horses cannot effectively use low
quality hay that is high in fiber be
cause it stays in the digestive tract
too long. A premium is placed on
high quality alfalfa hay.
By purchasing pure, early-cut al
falfa hay, horse owners can mix al
falfa with high quality grass hay to
regulate protein levels for the vari
ous types of animals, without
changing their grain mixture.
“Early-cut and high quality al
falfa hay has unquestionably been
the best forage the horse enthusiast
can use,” Martin said.
