High Altitude Hay Pellets

Benefits of Pellets vs Cubes

Transitioning Horses from Cubes to Pellets

  1. Start Slow– Introduce pellets gradually, beginning with a small percentage mixed with the cubes (e.g., 10% pellets, 90% cubes).
  2. Increase Gradually– Slowly increase the pellet ratio over several weeks while decreasing the cubes. Monitor the horse for any digestive or behavioral changes.
  3. Monitor Health: Watch for signs of colic, choking, or other health issues throughout the transition.
  4. Complete the Transition: Adjust based on the horse’s response, aiming to fully transition to pellets in about 4 to 6 weeks.
  5. Ongoing Monitoring: Continue to monitor your horse’s health and dietary balance even after the transition is complete.

High altitude = High performance. Cooler. Higher altitude nights produce slow-growth hay that’s packed with nutrients, softer, and less stemmy, making it more palatable and easier to digest. It’s hay candy!

Horse Feeding

Pellets offer a convenient and easily measured feed, promoting overall digestive health for your animals. To enhance hydration or accommodate aggressive eaters and horses with dental issues, it’s advised to feed pellets wet-soaked in water (2 parts water to 1 part pellets) until properly softened, typically 30 minutes. Pelleted forage should not be the only source for horses. Incorporating Blue Mountain Timothy, Teff, Orchard, Oat, and other hay varieties can prevent boredom and stable vices.

We also offer a variety of Easy Flake Hay Boxes for your horse as well!
