Alfalfa Hay – High-Protein, Nutrient-Rich Forage for Your Horse
At GoldFields, we proudly offer Premium Alfalfa Hay, a high-quality legume hay packed with essential nutrients, protein, and fiber to support performance, muscle development, and overall equine health. Known for its rich green color, soft texture, and high digestibility, Alfalfa Hay is an excellent choice for hardworking horses, growing foals, and lactating mares.
What is Alfalfa Hay?
Alfalfa Hay is a nutrient-dense forage derived from the alfalfa plant, making it an energy-rich option that provides more protein and calcium than grass hays like Timothy or Orchard. Its high fiber content promotes healthy digestion, while its naturally sweet taste makes it appealing to even the pickiest eaters.
