Pedee, Oregon | It also tends to be lower in carbohydrate (sugar) than the other cool-season grasses. Good for the majority of horses that are fashion accessories. You can feed a horse, even one that doesn't do anything, all the timothy hay it wants to eat and not worry to much about foundering the thing. From a testing standpoint, timothy will be more balanced between protien/fiber/carb than other grasses (there are plenty of exceptions but you can't tell horse hay buyers anything).
Here, orchardgrass gets a leaf rust pretty bad and looks like crap before you even swath it. Timothy tends to be "prettier", and since horse hay marketing is all about the eyes of the buyer it gets more attention. | |
