[haflingerfriends] Re: Fw: Hay

Yes it is. And it's something most of us with haflingers need to be very careful with. Something else that I was told about the Teff hay: it has barbs on the stems and it's very fine. Wonder if gives more potential for a higher risk for impaction problems with most haflingers trying to eat so fast with huge mouthfuls? As far as the sugars, here is a very interesting article by safergrass:

It's a good thing we can always learn something. :o)
