Timothy Hay Delivery in South Florida
The gold standard for horses — low sugar, high fiber, and irresistibly palatable
About Timothy Hay
Timothy hay has earned its reputation as the number one choice for horse owners who prioritize digestive health and balanced nutrition. Grown in the mineral-rich volcanic soils of Idaho, our Timothy hay arrives at your South Florida property with the bright green color, sweet aroma, and soft leaf texture that horses absolutely love. Unlike locally grown hay that battles Florida's humidity and pest pressure, our Idaho Timothy is cured in dry mountain air and compressed for freshness that lasts.

Feeding Guide
Most adult horses thrive on 15-20 lbs of Timothy hay per day, which represents roughly 1.5-2% of their body weight. For a 1,000 lb horse, plan on approximately 18 lbs daily. Timothy's moderate calorie content makes it difficult to overfeed, which is why veterinarians frequently recommend it for horses that need free-choice hay access without weight gain concerns. In South Florida's warm climate, horses may drink more water — always ensure fresh water is available alongside Timothy hay to support proper digestion.
Why Our Idaho Timothy Hay is Different
Idaho's Snake River Valley produces some of the finest Timothy hay on earth. The combination of volcanic mineral-rich soil, irrigation from pristine mountain snowmelt, warm days and cool nights, and low humidity during harvest creates Timothy hay with exceptional leaf-to-stem ratio, vibrant green color, and nutritional density that simply cannot be replicated in the Southeast. Perhaps most importantly for Florida horse owners: Idaho's cold winters eliminate blister beetles entirely, so you never have to worry about this potentially fatal contamination.
Storing Timothy Hay in Florida
Florida's humidity is the enemy of hay quality. Store your Timothy hay off the ground on pallets, in a covered area with good airflow. Our compressed blocks resist moisture better than loose bales, but still benefit from a tarp or barn storage. Check for any musty smell before feeding — quality Timothy should smell sweet and slightly grassy, never dusty or moldy. In our experience, properly stored Idaho Timothy maintains peak quality for 6-8 months in South Florida conditions.
Timothy Hay vs Other Hays
Timothy Hay vs Alfalfa
Timothy has lower protein (8-11% vs 15-22%) and lower calcium, making it safer for adult horses at maintenance. Alfalfa is better for growing horses, lactating mares, and hard-working performance horses that need extra calories.
Timothy Hay vs Orchard Grass
Timothy and Orchard are nutritionally similar, but Timothy tends to have slightly lower sugar content. Many horse owners mix the two for variety. Orchard grass is softer and leafier, while Timothy has a distinctive seed head that horses enjoy.
Timothy Hay vs Coastal Bermuda
Timothy is significantly higher quality than Coastal Bermuda for horses. Coastal is a warm-season grass with lower digestibility and higher fiber. Timothy provides better nutrition per pound and is more palatable to most horses.
