The single most important thing that sets Curraghmore apart is how we feed our horses.

Nutrition for horsesOur emphasis is on nutrients to intensify immune function, develop sound bone and enhance overall health.

It starts with the our pastures that grow on the naturally mineral-rich soil of the limestone cap of the Niagara Escarpment.

For our concentrate we combine

  • steam flaked barley,
  • full fat roasted soy beans,
  • ground flax seed,
  • beet pulp
  • concentrate pellet formulated to our specifications all top-dressed with soy/canola oil.

 

What sets us apart is the superior quality of our highly digestible, fresh ingredients.

We buy the very best forage from an award-winning hay producer. Fritz Trauttmansdorff sits on the board for the Canadian Hay Association, representing Ontario. He has been instrumental in the changes made to the Grading Standard of Hay for marketing hay the world over. He has won the American Forage and Grasslands Award for being a progressive hay producer (seldom received by a Canadian) He brings us the best hay!

All reputable farms take care of the basics. We believe our superior service and reputation is a result of our concentration on small details.
