Orchard Grass Hay Pellets for Horses
Made from high-quality orchard grass and processed into a compact pellet format, these orchard grass hay pellets provide balanced fiber and moderate protein to support healthy digestion and consistent forage nutrition. Their pellet form encourages steady intake while offering a clean, low-dust feeding option for horses of all ages.
Grown at high altitude in the Pacific Northwest, cooler nights allow the grass to develop more slowly, supporting nutrient development and forage quality. The pellet format provides convenient feeding, reduced waste, and reliable roughage for daily horse care.

Our Commitment to Quality
- High-Altitude Grown
Grown in the Pacific Northwest at high altitudes, where cooler temperatures slow plant growth for improved nutrition and flavor.
Pure & Safe
- No Additives or Preservatives
We never add chemicals, fillers, or artificial preservatives in the manufacturing process - just clean natural hay. - Fresh Pet Food
Our hay is safe for daily feeding and supports healthy digestion, dental wear, and mental stimulation.
Farm-Fresh Handling
- Fresh from Local Family Farms
We partner with trusted family farms dedicated to responsible, small-scale agriculture. - Carefully Harvested & Packed
Hand-harvested and minimally handled to preserve aroma, texture, and nutrients. Boxed in-house for freshness.
Growth & Nutrients
- High-Altitude Hay: Grows slowly in cool mountain air, allowing more time to develop rich nutrients.
- Regular Hay: Grows quickly in warm climates, and less time = fewer nutrients.
Texture
- High-Altitude Hay: Soft and leafy - gentle on teeth, easy to chew.
- Regular Hay: Coarse and stemmy - tougher to chew, may cause dental strain.
Digestibility
- High-Altitude Hay: Easier to digest = better nutrient absorption.
- Regular Hay: Harder to digest = more waste, fewer nutrients absorbed.
Animal Preference
- High-Altitude Hay: Animals love it - they eat more and feel better.
- Regular Hay: Often rejected or wasted by picky eaters.
Long-Term Health
- High-Altitude Hay: Can support healthy digestion and reduce vet visits.
- Regular Hay: May lead to digestive issues and higher long-term care costs.
PREMIUM HIGH-ALTITUDE HAY
Sourced from high-altitude regions in the Pacific Northwest, ensuring the highest quality and nutrient-rich hay for your pet. Our Orchard Grass Hay Pellets are a great source of moderate protein and high fiber, promoting overall health and wellness in horses.
BALANCED NUTRITION & FIBER-RICH
Orchard Grass Hay offers a balanced ratio of fiber and protein, making it ideal for adult horses, rabbits, guinea pigs, and other small pets. The mild nature of this hay supports healthy digestion and gut function, making it a great option for horses with metabolic or digestive sensitivities.
EASIER DIGESTION
Pellets are ideal for older horses because they require less chewing and are easier to digest than cubes. Pellets provide a uniform mix of nutrients in every bite, ensuring consistent nutrient intake.
HIGHLY PALATABLE & LOW DUST
Horses love the fresh, tasty flavor of our hay, and it’s low dust, promoting healthier respiratory function. Incorporating Blue Mountain Timothy, Teff, Orchard, Oat, and other hay varieties can prevent boredom and stable vices.
CONVENIENT, EASY FEEDING
Pellets are easy to measure, great for automatic feeders, and mix well with other feeds. Pellets can be easily combined with other feed types and supplements for variety in your horses’ diet.
