Complete hay replacer

[nativepony]

Does anyone feed a complete hay replacer? I am at a yard where we have to buy hay from the yard owner but the hay is really poor quality plus very dusty and I end up throwing loads away - it’s also very expensive! So looking for something I can give instead of hay but not sure what. She already has Thunderbrook chaff and a balancer. We are not allowed haylage either ….

I have an old pony who lives off Allen and page fast fibre as can’t eat hay. Have you looked at readigrass etc?

i hadn’t really thought of readigrass, simply because she’s a native good dooer and I guess I thought it wasn’t suitable ….

The easiest thing is chaff (Honeychop Lite and Lean is good for fatties) mixed in a big trug with soaked grass nuts or Speedibeet or a mix of the two. It’s easier if you mix it after you’ve added water but before it’s started to soak.
