🐴 Why Hay Testing Matters for Your Horse:

1. Hay makes up the majority of your horses diet when grazing is not available. If you don’t know the nutritional composition of your hay, then you are merely guessing at your horse’s total nutrition.

2. Supports Performance & Body Condition
Whether your horse is a backyard companion or a high-performance athlete, knowing your hay’s nutritional value helps maintain ideal weight, body condition, muscle tone, and energy.

3. Aids in Managing Health Conditions
For horses with metabolic issues, laminitis, or obesity, hay testing helps manage sugar, starch, and caloric intake.

4. Whether you are looking to ensure that your hay is providing enough digestible energy to fuel your horse, wanting to balance your horse’s diet and/or managing your horse’s sugar and starch intake…The Mill offers two different hay testing options to meet your needs. https://www.themillstores.com/pages/services/hay-testing

5. Saves Money in the Long Run
Diets built on facts can help finances by only spending money on feeds and/or supplements that your horse truly needs—no more, no less.

Bottom line: You cannot make informed decisions about your horse’s diet when you do not have all the information. Hay testing is an easy, affordable step toward smarter, healthier horse care.

Fall is the perfect time to assess parasite burdens before winter sets in.

The Mill offers equine f***l egg counts—a simple, science-based way to evaluate your horse’s internal parasite load and guide targeted deworming.

🔍 Why it matters:
✔️ Prevent resistance by avoiding unnecessary deworming
✔️ Choose the best wormer option based on your horse’s individual results.
✔️ Determine if adjustments are needed to your current worming plan or schedule.
✔️ Identify a parasite source as a potential culprit for issues like weight loss, a dull coat, colic, or ulcer-like symptoms.

Get your f***l egg count today and make informed decisions this season. A healthier horse starts from the inside out.
