What have you found to be your most palatable grass hay pellet?? My horses already get alfalfa and orchard hay so just need something to mix with my supplement that they will actually eat. I doubt they will eat alfalfa pellets because they get the regular long stem hay. But maybe? I don't want to buy several bags to see if they like them. Lol they don't really care for Timothy hay so I'm thinking Bermuda pellets? My feed store carries a wide variety and they are all 50 pounders. Lol thanks!

I feed dehydrated alfalfa pellets.
Thanks!!! Let me see if that will work then! My young horse is super super sensitive to ANY and I mean ANY kind of starches when he eats them. He doesn't really turn into a basket case, hard to explain, but any kind of sugar, Natural ( Oats and grains) or manufactured ( Molasses) he just does not do well. I am going to give Renew Gold another try now that the Curost got his hind gut working well. But you feed so little of it that I need a little more bulk to give his vit/min and gastro supplement with. Thanks! I wish they made a bag of pellets that had all the different kinds in one bag, color coded so I could find his favorite and just feed that. lol

Mine have all liked every hay pellet I've fed them except my one mare likes beet pulp the best She will eat plain beet pulp but not plain hay pellets. I ran out of beet pulp once and she barely picked at the alfalfa pellets.
