Does your winter forage need a steam clean?

Winter time can mean your horse is confined to a stable for long periods, as fields become wet and poached and the winter weather closes in on us. This is a time when our horses can become prone to coughs and are at particular risk of developing respiratory disease, particularly as the bad summers we've had recently mean that good quality, low dust hay is increasingly difficult to come by!

One simple and effective way to help protect your horse's lungs from dust and mould spores this winter is to steam his hay with a Hay Steamer from Happy Horse Products. Easy to use and designed to do the same AND MORE as soaking hay, without the inconvenience of dustbins full of waste water, leached minerals and heavy, wet haynets, Happy Horse Hay Steamers introduce steam to the hay to penetrate at approximately 100C. Steaming at this temperature kills and destroys fungal spores, bacteria and dust mites present in the hay, while also dampening down and neutralising all potentially airborne dust particles. The hay is then lush and ready for your horse to enjoy, complete with all its vital minerals!
