Hay Cubes are suitable for all horses and ponies — whether in work, needing extra weight gain, or those that don’t tolerate full Lucerne in their diet.
Made from coarsely chopped premium Australian Lucerne and Oaten hay, the fibre is maintained at an ideal length before being compressed under high pressure and temperature. This unique process creates a highly palatable, easy-to-digest cube that’s completely free from additives.
Hay Cubes make the perfect base for any feed ration, delivering quality roughage to support overall health and performance.
Introducing Hay Cubes
- Gradually introduce soaked Hay Cubes into your horse’s diet over a 14 day period.
- Soak the hay cubes (1:1 ratio) in either cold or warm water until they are properly softened.
- After 14 days you can reduce the water gradually to feed the hay cubes dry, or if your horse prefers, they can continue to be fed soaked.
- Offering Hay Cubes in smaller pieces as a treat allows horses and ponies to readily accept the alternative form.
Feeding Recommendations
- Always feed by weight not volume.
- Horses require a minimum of 1.5% of body weight (kg) of forage per day.
- For example 4.5kg per day for a 300kg pony or 7.5kg for a 500kg horse.
- Forage requirements depend on pasture availability, horse’s weight, age, size, condition and work level.
- Fresh drinking water should always be available.
- Consult a qualified nutritionist to develop a complete feeding plan specifically for your horse.
