Feet First Horse Hay

Feetfirst have committed all the land at their small family farm to producing Feetfirst hay. They don’t produce any other crops so are totally focussed on producing the right quality hay for the Feetfirst hay brand. They take great pride in their hay which they make themselves to their own specification.

Achieving a high target quality is their priority rather than maximising yields. This means they only take one cut of grass per year instead of the usual 2 or 3 cuts from more productive agricultural grasses such as ryegrass.

Ryegrass and clover is not included in Feetfirst hay as they believe these plants are too high in sugar, carbohydrates and protein for most horses, ponies and donkeys.

Feetfirst always manage the grassland with equine requirements in mind. As well as choosing the right grasses, they carefully tailor the applications to improve nutrient density by creating healthy soil. They only apply herbicides if necessary.

They have invested in their own haymaking equipment rather than relying on contractors. This puts them in control of the grassland management and the haymaking process from start to finish, helping them make a top quality hay for horses.
