Feeding Alfalfa to Your Horse

As a legume, alfalfa is a unique forage and is the primary choice for many horse owners. Because the foundation for any horse diet will always be forage, this week we focus on alfalfa and why or why not it would be a good choice for your horse. We start off discussing how alfalfa as a legume differs from many of our grass forages. We especially focus on which nutrients differ and what owners should be aware of, especially when it comes to the quality of alfalfa hay. Under certain circumstances alfalfa may not be advisable to certain classes of horses. Thus, we give some advice and tips on how to manage these animals. We then shift our focus on why owners may want to select alfalfa for their horses and what makes it such a popular forage.
