ReadiGrass is a premium quality forage which is ideal for horses and ponies without access to grazing. The original dried grass, it is grown, harvested and dried with great care on our farm in Yorkshire - absolutely nothing is added. Water is removed gently from the grass in our low temperature drying process, retaining the natural flavours, wonderful smell, colour and most importantly the high nutrient value of fresh grass.

This gives a feed that is more nutritious than hay yet still contains the digestible fibre essential for every horse’s health. For horses with limited access to fresh pasture it’s as close to fresh grass as you can get without being in a field!

ReadiGrass can be fed for a variety of reasons including;

Horses with limited access to fresh pastures
For older horses or those with poor dentition  who are struggling to chew long stem fibres
To prevent weight loss when horses come in from summer grazing to winter stabling
High energy from digestible fibre makes it a great alternative to hard feeds
To avoid dust allergies caused by storage moulds in hay
To supplement, or completely replace poor quality hay of low nutritional value
As a palatable accompaniment to mask medicines or supplements
As a treat or a change for a horse bored with winter forage
