Riverfront Farm uses and distributes
Tri-Forage Horsehae

Horsehae is a very healthy forage alternative to traditionally made hay. It consists of mature grasses the same as used in hay but which are harvested and packaged with a high moisture content in hermetically sealed bags. This maximizes the freshness and feeding value of the forage while minimizing the presence of dust and mould.

No chemical fertilizers containing chloride
No herbicides
No other additives are used at any stage in the growing or packaging of Horsehae

Tri-Forage is hay that is grown as usual, fermented, baled, hydraulically pressed, and then shrink-wrapped.

The bags weigh 60 +/- lbs. The hay lasts well over a year in the bag. Bags can be stored out side, the plastic can be recycled.

1 bag last 1 horse 3 days typically. When you open a bag and shake out a flake it doubles to equal 2 flakes dry.

Once you open a bag or you accidentally puncture one you should feed out the hay within 3 to 5 days.

There is no dust, mold and the hay has a sweet vinegar/beer smell the horses love. When you feed the Tri-Forage you will not have to feed as much grain. Tri-Forage retains 90% of pasture grass nutritional value. The horses keep better on it, and it is great for putting weight on the poor doers, young and competition horses.

There are four different types:

Straight Timothy @ 12.5 % protein
Timothy/ Alfalfa @ 12.9 % protein
Meadow Mix (no alfalfa, contains grasses, clovers, legumes, wild peas, carrot, etc) @ 16 % protein
Straight Alfalfa @ 22 % protein

Cost is $14.50 per bag plus mass tax (%5) no matter what mix you choose, working out to about $4 a day per horse. The hay is sold by the palate (30 bags to a palate).

We give quantity discounts to anyone who order a ½ truck (12 palates) or a full truck (24 palates).
