Feeding ReadiGrass will help your animal stay healthy while they’re not able to graze outside. They’ll be happy because they love eating this delicious food! And you’ll be happy because you won’t have to worry about them getting sick due to lack of nutrition. Give them what they need today with ReadiGrass!
ReadiGrass is a premium quality feed that is ideal for horses, ponies and even small animals without access to grazing. The original dried grass, it is grown, harvested and dried with great care on the Friendship Estates farm in Yorkshire – absolutely nothing is added.
Water is removed gently from the grass in our low-temperature drying process, retaining the natural flavours, wonderful smell, colour and most importantly the high nutrient value of fresh grass.
Readigrass horse feed is a feed that is more nutritious than hay yet still contains the digestible fibre essential for every horse’s health. For horses with limited access to fresh pasture it’s as close to fresh grass as you can get without being in a field! Safe and high-quality feed for horses with allergies, ReadiGrass contains no additives or preservatives.
ReadiGrass is available in 15kg bales.
As a Readigrass and Friendship Estates stockist we receive fresh weekly deliveries and are rarely ever out of stock.
ReadiGrass for horses can be fed for a variety of reasons including;
- Horses with limited access to fresh pastures
- For older horses or those with poor dentition  who are struggling to chew long-stem fibres
- To prevent weight loss when horses come in from summer grazing to winter stabling
- High energy from digestible fibre makes it a great alternative to hard feeds
- To avoid dust allergies caused by storage moulds in hay
- To supplement, or completely replace poor quality hay of low nutritional value
- As a palatable accompaniment to mask medicines or supplements
- As a treat or a change for a horse bored with winter forage
We deliver Readigrass nationwide by next-working-day courier DPD. Some areas such as Highlands & Islands may take longer and incur an additional delivery cost. Please ask before ordering if you are unsure.

Our grazing has been a bit sparse for a while, we find Readigrass is an ideal add-on to the ponies diet, they enjoy it.
