Why horse owners choose it
A balanced forage, with nothing added
Balanced protein and energy
Timothy offers a moderate, steady balance of protein and energy, so it suits every class of horse at any stage of life.
A source of copper and zinc
Timothy is a great natural source of the trace minerals copper and zinc.
Replaces loose hay
Pellets can completely replace loose hay or supplement pasture, for horses, cattle, sheep, goats, and rabbits. Approved for state and federal lands (U.S. Forest Service certified, claim #04-00-058).

Feeding guide
Timothy pellets can completely replace the forage in your horse’s diet. Feed 1.5% to 2% of body weight in total feed per day.
Example: a 1,000 lb horse needs 15–20 lb of total feed a day, about 3 lb of supplemental feed plus 12–17 lb of timothy pellets. Adjust to your horse’s condition, and always provide fresh water.
