Timothy hay has long been a favorite hay of horse owners, its popularity due in part to the fact that timothy hay is typically a very clean hay, free of dust and mold. This is critical for horse owners selecting hay, because of the potential for respiratory problems in horses.
Timothy harvested at an early stage of maturity (prior to early bloom) can provide a significant percentage of a mature horse’s nutrient requirements. For horses with higher nutrient requirements, such as lactating mares and young growing horses, timothy hay can be an effective forage but the feeding programs will require supplementation to meet the increased nutrient requirements of these classes of horse. However for mature horses at maintenance or doing light work, timothy hay is a good choice as limited supplementation will be required to meet the horse’s nutrient requirements.
