Grass substitutes - which one?

[Wagtail]

I have just bought some Dobson and Horrell 'Just Grass' and I was disappointed that it was not nice and green. I remember years ago getting Readigrass and that was lovely. So any views on which one is the best? I was thinking of ordering some 'Graze-on'.

That's quite strange, because my DH Just Grass IS nice and green
another nice one is Badminton Supreme Grass

Never had a problem with Just Grass or Graze On, I use Graze On regularly. Readigrass was like pine needles and I didn't like handling that, but horse scoffs all 3.

Thanks. Maybe I just had a bad batch then.

I have onky ever used either ReadiGrass or Graze On, i have always found my lot prefer the Readigrass and the Graze on i never thought looked as green.

If your not sure about what you've bought maybe take it back to the feed store and let them see the colour of it?

It smells nice but just looks like short chopped hay. The horse prefer their haylage when both are offered.

I have used all three for my veteran and he prefers readigrass much more. I think that is because it is softer than the other two and he has very few teeth!!! I think I remember graze on being greener though!!

See also my post about grass nuts below - could be an option and cheaper!!

I have used all 3 (for the Guineas) redi grass is usually nice and green but can be fairly course, just grass I have had some good and bad bags, and graze on can be dusty.
