I've been feeding HorseHage for about 5 years to my horse who has COPD.
It's really expensive to feed (£7 per bale, 1 bale does 2 and a half nets) but I buy it because it's really moist and so keeps him well and not puffing and/or coughing.
However. I bought 5 bales last week and the 3 that I've used have been really, really dry and the haylage is all stuck together, almost matted.
He was really lazy when I rode him yesterday and was puffing like a train.
The unbranded farmer's haylage that the feed merchant sells is £7.50 and does 5 nets. It smells really nice and he loves it, but it is a bit drier than HorseHage, so I don't know if I would be causing problems for myself if I put him back on that.
Does anyone know what the difference is between the 2 and am I just paying through the nose for a brand name when the unbranded stuff is just as good?
