Haylage Sponsor

Haylage is an essential part of the horses diet.  Although we try to keep them out in the fields as much as possible to lead a natural life, those needing to be stabled require adlib haylage to keep their digestive systems operating effectively--and of course, during our winter months, there is not enough grass to sustain them so they are fed haylage out in the fields.

We currently use approx 120 big round bales each year. It costs us approximately £28/bale to produce when taking into account organic fertilizer, field management, cutting, scaling, baling and wrapping along with the cost of the wrap. Depending on weather during our growing season and other factors, we may have to supplement by purchasing haylage bales--but we do all we can to promote and harvest the best possible crop as purchasing tends to be nearly twice as expensive for bales half our size!

If you would like to contribute to our homegrown haylage for the horses' staple diet, please do so here!
