Hay Pillow keeps equines warm naturally – internally and externally.

Forage (hay or pasture) provides large amounts of insoluble fiber which is primarily digested in the hindgut (where bacterial fermentation produces internal body heat).

High fiber feeds produce long lasting internal body heat to maintain core body temperature.

The hindgut is your equine’s furnace!

Keeping it stoked with fuel (fiber) helps to keep them warm internally.

Gastric ulcers should be a concern whenever forage is restricted for periods of time.

The stress associated with lack of forage, the discomfort of gastric acid accumulation in the stomach and being cold promotes ulcers and a less than optimum immune system.

By respecting and providing a natural environment, free choice forage (whether slow fed or not) in multiple locations, a warm winter hair coat, concentrated source of calories if needed, appropriate protection from the elements and freedom of movement - you can help your herd cope best with colder temperatures.
