Hay is the foundation of most horses’ diets — but how much do you actually know about what’s in that bale?

The Hay Basics Poster is a colorful visual guide to essential forage knowledge every horse person should have. Designed to make equine nutrition approachable and memorable, it combines illustrations, quick facts, and practical tips you can use at the barn.

YOU’LL LEARN ABOUT:

• How much forage horses need each day
• Why horses are designed to eat throughout the day
• Leaves, stems, and seed heads
• Grass hay vs. legume hay
• Hay vs. straw
• Why greener hay isn’t automatically better
• How to evaluate hay using sight, smell, feel, weight, and forage testing

Perfect for barns, tack rooms, feed rooms, lesson programs, equestrian classrooms, Pony Club and 4-H students, and horse owners who want to better understand what they’re feeding.
