WONDERFUL HAY FOR HORSES!
Sweet and soft, the right amount of energy and protein, almost no waste
of money on extra protein that will go down the drain as ammonia!!
Because it is such good smelling and soft hay, it may require some
limit feeding to avoid overweight issues.
This type of hay could be used very well for growing horses.
