It turns out there’s more than way to skin a cat. And by skin a cat, we mean load hay. (I can feel my hives coming up just thinking about it.) We all have a pretty good sense of how it’s done now, and in fact most of us have probably had to load a loft or two and have the biceps to show for it. But what did it look like in the past, and how will it look in the future? The internets know, OF COURSE.
First, we have a reenactment of how hay came in 100 years ago: the feed was either hand-thrashed or mechanically cut with rudimentary machines, raked and stacked, and then painstakingly loaded one stack at a time and driven in by the eaters themselves. Exhibit A:

But what about in the future? Apparently we won’t have to do anything at all, and I think that’s a sacrifice my biceps and embarrassingly nerdy allergies are willing to make.

Of course, there will always be recreational hay moving: Impromptu seating, wagon rides, and of course, massive, death-defying slip and slides.

Get your hay on, and go jumping!
The feeling you get when it’s just you and your horse
It’s why we do what we do.
Fight back against colic and digestive upset
Neigh-Lox Advanced provides a scientifically advanced blend of ingredients that work synergistically to maintain your horse’s digestive tract in peak condition by supporting both the gastrointestinal tissues and the beneficial bacteria that populate the gut. Maintaining a healthy digestive tract reduces the risk of colonic and gastric ulcers, colic, laminitis related to hind-gut acidosis, and oxidative stress that damages digestive tract tissues themselves. Horses with a well-balanced GI tract have good appetites, absorb more nutrients from their diets, maintain a strong immune system, and stay healthier.
It is why the horse that matters to you matters to us. Not sure which horse supplement best meets your horse’s needs? We are here to help. Contact Kentucky Performance Products, LLC at 859-873-2974 or visit our website at KPPusa.com.
