Horse Star Hay – 15kg

More about Horse Star Hay

The pasture is your horse's favorite place. Here, it can peacefully graze on fresh grass, expend energy, and trot around.

Your horse has the following requirements for its pasture:

• Endure intensive trampling throughout the year
• The sod must be very dense to prevent sod pulling
• Grass should recover quickly
• Palatable but not too energy-rich
• Very low levels of fructan (reserve carbohydrate) and protein
• Structure-rich grass is preferred
• Diverse and varied composition for a stronger immunity

Horse Star Hay is specifically formulated to meet all these requirements. It is also highly suitable for seeding in conjunction with our Herb Mix.
