OK, so as a nutritionist, I get pretty frustrated (as do many horse owners I’m sure) with BAD hay that you spent GOOD money on. I hear it almost every day.
“I thought the hay was good, but it turned out that half of the bales were mouldy inside/it was too course/to rich/not rich enough/dusty” and the list goes on!
Wouldn’t it be nice if there was somewhere you could go to fine reputable hay producers across the province of Ontario? Now you can www.ontariohorsehay.com. It has just started up, so at the moment there are no hay producers advertising. As well, the first crop of hay hasn’t even been harvested in most areas!
So, I”m spreading the word. You can post “hay wanted” ads and “hay for sale” ads. We encourage our producers to have hay sample analysis done, and that too will be attached to their hay profile. Any questions about reading a hay analysis can then be directed to the resident nutritionist….moi.
So I welcome you to check out www.ontariohorsehay.com, and hopefully once the word gets out, we have a list of producers to feed the horses of Ontario!
