Gold Ryegrass - £price on enquiry
Delivered 48 or 96 bales
Equibale Gold is our premier product.
Focused on customers who simply want the very best for their horses, Equibale Gold is a thick stemmed, first cut ryegrass product of around 10% protein. We select a suitable batch from one location, produced at the same time. Where a customer requires it, we hold it in stock to ensure you have the exact same product throughout your season. In limited supply, it is the best of our annual stock, graded to ensure the batches are as consistent as possible.
We carry out full microbial and nutritional analysis on all batches, supplied free of charge.
Silver Ryegrass – £price on enquiry
Delivered 48 or 96 bales
Silver Rygrass is a popular product.
Typically ordered by yards focused on high performance horses, Silver Rygrass is essentially the same high quality product as the Gold Ryegrass and made to the same exacting standards. Silver Ryegrass is made from first year ryegrasses.
This difference is that it comes from mixed batches and can vary as a result of differences in location and timing of production.
We carry out full microbial and nutritional analysis on all batches, supplied free of charge.
Standard Ryegrass - £48 per bale
Delivered 48 or 96 bales
Equibale Standard Ryegrass is a more economically priced ryegrass product but still produced by us to the same exacting standards as we apply to Equibale Gold and Silver.
The difference is that standard Ryegrass is made from ryegrasses in their second and third year of production. They are either first or second cut with second cut typically having a lower protein levels in light of the shorter growing time.
We provide analysis but there will be variations between and within each batch.
Meadowmix Ryegrass - £48 per bale
Delivered 48 or 96 bales
Meadowmix Haylage is made from a mix of carefully chosen mix of grass varieties to mimic the type of grasses a horse might naturally graze. It is produced to the same standards as all of our haylage types.
Perhaps the most traditional of the haylage types, Equibale Meadowmix is chosen by some race horse trainers and studs in preference to a ryegrass based haylage and hard feed is used to get the required nutrition balance. Supplied to many livery yards, it is also fed out of season to give some variety and to customers with horses who they perceive don’t do as well on a ryegrass diet.
Timothy - £48 per bale
Delivered 48 or 96 bales
Equibale Timothy is an alternative to the more common ryegrass Haylage and is in high demand.
Equibale Timothy is made from pure timothy grass. It is well known as a great alternative for horses who tend to ‘hot up’ on ryegrass and is also generally suitable for laminitic horses as it has a very low sugar content.
It has a very different – but still highly attractive - smell to ryegrass haylage and tends to be very ‘long stranded’. It is typically an appealing forage for even the most fussy of eaters.
Ryegrass small bales - £7 per bale
Delivered 40 bales to a pallet
Typically ordered by yards focused on high performance horses, Rygrass is essentially the same high quality product as the Gold Ryegrass and made to the same exacting standards. Ryegrass is made from first year ryegrasses.
This difference is that it comes from mixed batches and can vary as a result of differences in location and timing of production.
We carry out full microbial and nutritional analysis on all batches, supplied free of charge.
Once opened, each bale comprises
of approximately 25 even slices.
These slices are tightly compressed
into each bale with 4 strings around
them. The bale will grow by about
50% once the strings are cut.
