Delivery across North Central Florida or pickup at our Williston farm. How hay delivery works.
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. We test the field, not each bale. 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.
“Great place to buy Canadian Hay for our horses and the service in the office and warehouse is friendly and careful. Shout out to Hailey and Juan!”

We test the field, not each bale. The sample date above is when this test was pulled.
No, we never dye our hay. The bright green color comes from the Nevada growing conditions. The high desert climate has very low humidity, so hay dries quickly in the field without bleaching or losing color. Irrigation keeps the plants healthy and green through the growing season. What you see is the natural result of premium growing conditions.
This is our finest western second-cut timothy, hand-selected lot by lot for leaf-to-stem ratio and consistency from bale to bale. That extra selection is why it is our go-to show-barn hay: leafy, soft, and consistent enough that you can count on the same quality load after load.
It is a strong everyday forage for most adult horses, and the consistency makes it especially popular with show and performance barns that want the same hay every time. The fine, leafy character also makes it appealing to picky eaters.
Yes. This product has published lab results from Equi-Analytical Laboratories, and you can download the test right from this page. We test the field, not each bale, so the numbers describe the field the hay came from.
For Florida buyers, freight is the single biggest driver of hay price, and a top-tier hay like this is also cut earlier and selected more carefully, which means less tonnage but higher quality per bale. The payoff is that horses clean it up with little waste, so a more expensive bale that gets fully eaten often costs less in the end than a cheap bale that ends up in the dumpster.
