Premium Hay, Feed & Bedding
It can be confusing to choose the right hay for your horse. The vet's recommendations, the trainer's words of wisdom, the advice from a friend or colleague, or what you have read lately online, plus the consideration of your budget all play key roles in selecting the perfect hay or hay mix for your horse.

Orchard Alfalfa Mix
Orchard alfalfa mix hay, Nevada-grown, combining high-fiber orchard grass with nutrient-dense alfalfa in a single 3-string bale. The right choice for performance horses, hunter-jumpers, eventers, working ranch horses, and hard keepers who need more calories and protein than straight grass provides but would founder on pure alfalfa. A natural step up from timothy or orchard when a horse drops weight in heavy work. Every bale lab-tested. Delivered across Williston, Ocala, Gainesville, and the WEC show corridor. If your trainer keeps telling you your horse needs more groceries but the vet is nervous about straight alfalfa, this is the blend that splits the difference.

Orchard Grass
Orchard grass hay for horses, grown by the Ropp family on their Nevada farms. Soft-leaf, high-fiber, low-dust forage in clean 3-string bales. Orchard grass is the go-to hay for picky eaters, hard keepers, and senior horses who need a palatable, easy-to-chew grass. The Nevada high desert grows a consistently leafy crop without the mold risk of humid Southern hay. Best for horses at maintenance or in light work who do well on a straight grass ration without alfalfa. Lab tests pulled on every lot. Delivered across Williston, Ocala, Gainesville, and Central Florida, with shipping-container bulk storage available on larger orders. If your horse turns up his nose at coastal or Bermuda, orchard grass is almost always the fix.

Teff Grass
Teff hay for horses with metabolic issues, insulin resistance, or Cushing's disease. Ultra-low sugar and starch (NSC typically 6-8%), with protein packed into a fine, soft stem your horse will actually eat. Teff is the first forage most vets recommend for EMS, PPID, laminitic, or easy-keeper horses who cannot handle the sugars in traditional grass hay. Every bale is lab-tested so you see the numbers before you feed it. Weighs out well for weight-restricted feeding and slow-feeder nets. Delivered across Williston, Ocala, Gainesville, and Central Florida to boarding barns, rescues, and private owners managing horses on restricted diets. Ask for the lab results when you call; the NSC, protein, and mineral profile on the current load is information you should see before you switch feed.

Timothy 1st Cut
Timothy 1st cut hay, Nevada-grown, in clean 3-string bales. Low sugar, fine stem, with enough protein to fuel most adult horses at maintenance or in light work. First cutting timothy is more stem and less leaf than second cut, which makes it the right choice for horses that need a lower-calorie, higher-fiber ration without tipping into metabolic trouble. Lab-tested every lot. A mainstay of the Ropp family's Nevada operation and the most-ordered hay at our Williston store. Delivered across Ocala, Gainesville, Dunnellon, Hernando, Belleview, and the rest of our Central Florida service area, with shipping-container bulk storage on 130-bale orders. If you're running a multi-horse pasture and want one hay to feed everyone, timothy 1st cut is the default answer.

Timothy 2nd Cut
Timothy 2nd cut hay, Nevada-grown, the leafier follow-up to 1st cut. Fine stem, super-leafy, low sugar, flakes apart beautifully in the feed room. Perfect for picky eaters, show horses, and metabolic horses whose owners want a palatable timothy without the sugar spike of alfalfa or western coastal grass. Higher in protein than 1st cut, lower in NDF, and softer on sensitive mouths. Every lot is lab-tested. Delivered across Williston, Ocala, Gainesville, Dunnellon, Hernando, Belleview, and the rest of our Central Florida route. If you're managing a horse on a weight-restricted diet but his body condition keeps slipping, second-cut timothy is often the cut that actually gets eaten.

Ultra Premium 2nd Cut Timothy
Ultra premium 2nd cut timothy hay. Our finest western timothy, hand-selected from top Nevada and western-US lots for exceptional leaf-to-stem ratio and consistency between bales. A premium show-barn hay for horses that actually need it: hunter-jumper strings, dressage competitors, driving horses, and retired show horses whose owners refuse to compromise on forage. Packed in clean 3-string bales, lab-tested every lot. If you've been frustrated by bales with too much stem waste or inconsistent quality, this is the pick. Delivered across Williston, Ocala, Gainesville, and the WEC / Ocala Horse Park / HITS show corridor. Premium hay with premium service, no middleman between you and the farm.

Timothy Alfalfa Mix
Timothy alfalfa mix hay, a balanced western blend combining high-quality timothy and high-quality alfalfa in the same 3-string bale. An all-around hay that feeds well across a mixed barn: light riders, pleasure horses, growing youngsters, and older horses who need the calories of alfalfa softened by the fiber of timothy. Easier on the gut than straight alfalfa, more protein-dense than straight timothy. Lab-tested per lot. Delivered across Williston, Ocala, Gainesville, Dunnellon, Hernando, Belleview, and the rest of Central Florida. If you're running five horses on one hay budget and they all need something a little different, this is the practical middle.

Peanut Hay
Peanut hay, locally grown in the Southeast and baled into 2-string bales. High protein, soft texture, naturally palatable even to the pickiest horses. A favorite for goats, breeding cattle, and horses who need a calorie bump without the sugar of coastal or Bermuda grass. Peanut hay grows close to home so it lands in the feed room fresher than western hay, and at $18 per bale it's the most affordable high-protein forage in our catalog. Lab-tested per lot. Delivered across Williston, Ocala, Gainesville, Dunnellon, Hernando, Belleview, and the rest of our Central Florida service area. Local horse owners who've been priced out of alfalfa find peanut hay is the same feed value at less than half the cost.

Timothy/Orchard/Alfalfa Mix
Timothy orchard alfalfa three-way mix hay, grown in Western Canada.

The most complete single hay in our catalog for owners who want one bale to cover maintenance, light work, and mild body-condition support without juggling three products. Lab-tested every lot. Delivered across Williston, Ocala, Gainesville, Dunnellon, Hernando, Belleview, and the rest of Central Florida. Value-priced for barns managing a full herd who still want a nutritionally rounded forage instead of a straight grass budget bale.

Large Shavings
Large-flake pine shavings, Suncoast brand, in the uniform-flake bag Florida show barns have asked for by name for decades. Low dust, clean white pine, ideal for hunter-jumper stalls, dressage barns, and any show-weekend deep bed. Large flakes don't pack down as fast as fine shavings and hold up better under a stall-kept horse. Delivered alongside hay orders across Williston, Ocala, Gainesville, and Central Florida. If you've been running Tractor Supply bags and watching them disintegrate after one week, Suncoast large flake is the upgrade. Priced to move on full pallets for boarding barns and show strings.

Fine Shavings
Fine-flake pine shavings for maximum absorption. Easy to sift through with a stall fork, excellent for foaling stalls, senior horses, and any barn where you'd rather spend ten minutes mucking than thirty. Lower dust than sawdust, more absorbent than coarse shavings, bagged in manageable 8-cubic-foot units. Delivered alongside hay orders across Williston, Ocala, Gainesville, and Central Florida. Pair with large flake for a two-layer deep bed, or run pure fine for a horse that paws or pees hard. Most boarding barns in the Ocala area settle on fine shavings once they try them.

Straw
Bright-color, low-dust wheat straw in full bales. The traditional bedding choice for foaling, breeding shed, livestock, and decorative barn work. Straw composts faster than shavings, which is why commercial breeding operations in Marion County still prefer it for pre-foaling stalls. Also popular for fall decor on feed-store displays, farm-to-table events, and hayride-style birthday parties. Delivered alongside hay orders across Williston, Ocala, Gainesville, and Central Florida. Clean enough to bed a valuable broodmare, bright enough to drop straight into a pumpkin-patch display. Consistently among the first products to sell through in October.
