With the exceptionally dry summer, many horse owners are concerned about the availability of forage this winter. Reduced rainfall has led to poor grass growth, meaning many farmers were unable to produce as much hay as in previous years.
HaySoft offers a reliable solution with a wide variety of high-quality bagged haylage and hay, available through selected stockists across the South East of England. Their haylage is carefully processed to be very low in dust, making it ideal for supporting respiratory health. With three distinct haylage options, HaySoft provides suitable forage for different types of horses and ponies, ensuring you can find the right match for your horse’s needs:
Haysoft Original Haylage - HaySoft Original is made from premium cut rye grass and is tightly packaged when it’s moisture content reaches levels of 30-35%. This method prevents the formation of dust and spores. HaySoft Original is then mildly fermented in order to preserve nutrients and create moist, nutritious and dust-free forage that does not require soaking. Ideal for horses and ponies in light to medium work.
Haysoft High-Fibre Haylage - A premium rye and timothy blend haylage from their Essex family farm. Cut early for maximum nutrition, it provides higher levels of vitamins, minerals, and protein than hay alone. Suitable for a wide range of horses and ponies, especially those in light work.
Haysoft Timothy Haylage - Made from pure timothy grass, naturally low in sugar, making it ideal for laminitic horses, ponies, and good doers. HaySoft Timothy is harvested later than rye grass usually mid to late June. Timothy has a different nose to rye grass which in turn makes it ideal for fussy feeders and is highly palatable.
Haysoft HayBags Haylage - Premium Essex-grown hay with excellent nutrition and taste. Low-dust processing supports animal respiratory health. Packed in biodegradable, recyclable packaging for sustainability. Neatly packed for easy storage, transport, and clean feeding areas.
When feeding, remember to use a double-netted haynet or one with small holes to slow your horse’s eating and help them make the most of their forage. For horses already at a healthy weight, take care not to overfeed.
The full HaySoft range is available at all Animall stores. Feeds can also be used as a forage replacer. Ask a member of staff for guidance on which option will best suit your horse’s needs.
