Quality Alfalfa Hay

Alfalfa can be good for horses, especially if they need more energy or protein. It is a beneficial forage due to its high protein and calorie content, making it ideal for growing, working, or pregnant horses. However, it should be fed in moderation, as its high calcium levels can be problematic if not balanced with phosphorus, and excessive intake may lead to digestive issues or potential health complications, such as laminitis, in susceptible horses. Therefore, maintaining a balanced diet is crucial when feeding alfalfa.
