Where do you get your horses hey2007-11-24 21:22:53

The hay, to tell if it is good. pull a flake of hay in half and smell it, it will kinda smell like fresh cut grass. If it smells like fresh cut grass and has a wierd tingly smell it is moldy. Put it FAR away from the barn. Moldy hay can blow up and cause a barn fire!

If it is like just no real smell and VERY dusty, then it is old.

I don't know where you are, but I get my hay from a local farm and they are GREAT! I pay $3- a bale and it's a blend of orchard grass and alfalfa. It's very green and my horses love it. I run a small stable and every person that comes by always comments on how good my hay looks. The Proeschel (pro-shell) family runs the farm and they do deliver out of state, they deliver semitruck loads to farms all over the US. The guys name is Johnathan and his number is 937-533-0180. If you decide to use them please tell him his friend Traci gave you their name!

Hey! lol It depends where you are. There isn't really a co. It is only farmers or tack stores that you can order hay from. Ask them if they use anything to help the hay grow b/c sometimes they put pestisides in to make the bugs go away. Good hay should be a dark green. Imagine that if you poured pop into a glass with ice, if the ice melts it is going to have less taste and it wont be as good. But if you drink it before the ice melts, it is good and nice and refreshing. That is like with horses hay like dark is better and light colored isn't as good. They hold the same amount of nutrients, but the horses like a little flavor in what they eat =) For delivering, you can have it delivered but I like to pick it up. Then you can see what their fields look like and what they do. I went to one place that was spraying pestisides and grow hormones (BAD!) onto their fields right as I pulled in.

Well, most people grow their own hay and sell it for money. Others buy hay.

well you can get hays from any stores such as farm shops , or at a ware house places where they also sell all animals foods products , petsmart also sell everything for horses as foods ,treats. other things that you need to get for a horse. plus if you have green grasses yards with drieds , new plants are also good for horses to chew on too.
