An excellent source of energy and provides essential vitamins and minerals, such as calcium, phosphorus, and vitamin B1. Oats are the highest in fiber, and lowest in sugar and starch of all the cereal grains fed to horses.

Naturally High in Condensed Tannins– Tannins have anti-inflammatory properties, which may help reduce inflammation in the body, potentially benefiting conditions like arthritis or other inflammatory disorders. Tannins have been shown to scavenge free radicals and help reduce oxidative stress. Tannins have been found to possess antimicrobial properties, which can inhibit the growth of bacteria, fungi, and viruses.
Longer chewing time - We have recorded the chewing time of horses who eat alfalfa pellets vs those who eat the sainfoin pellets. The horses observed spent an average of 30% more time chewing the sainfoin, salivated significantly more and drank up to twice the amount of water when they were eating sainfoin. Chewing for production of saliva and digestive enzymes and increased water consumption are all important for optimal gastrointestinal health in horses.
Heavenly Hay proudly grows and produces Sainfoin Supreme in Montana’s rich soils. Every bag represents a commitment to sustainable farming practices, chemical-free nutrition, and healthier horses.
Always measure feed by weight, not volume.
To improve ease of consumption, add water before feeding.
Sainfoin Supreme can replace a portion of the hay ration. Total forage intake for equine athletes should equal 2 to 3% of body weight, using clean, well-balanced hay.
Since sainfoin and alfalfa have similar mineral profiles, use alfalfa cautiously when adding it to the diet. Grass hay is the preferred choice when including additional forage.
Sainfoin is naturally rich in beta-carotene, which is safely converted to vitamin A as needed by the horse's body. When feeding sainfoin along with a vitamin/mineral supplement, avoid excessive total vitamin A intake by keeping supplemental vitamin A at or below approximately 30,000 IU per day.
Always ensure access to fresh, clean water. Store in a dry place, off the ground, and away from pests to preserve freshness.
