Is there anywhere that sells wheat straw?

Probably not a good idea to feed wheat straw, it is the most likely variety to give them colic. My made has had colic from eating long barley straw. The best way to get the weight off, is to feed plain oat straw chaff, alongside a small ration of hay. They won't gorge on the chaff and you don't need to net the hay, so feeding can be more natural.
 
I was always told not to feed wheat straw as it's the most likely to cause impaction and is least palatable.
I was told oat was best but I couldn't get any. So I fed barley straw for quite a while with no issues. The vet said keep it less then 50% to their hay amount

Well, after everything I ended up giving her chopped pat straw!
