Hi-Fi SENIOR is a blend of chopped alfalfa with grasses which have been high temperature dried to lock in the natural goodness and ensure the very best quality product. Alfalfa is an excellent natural source of antioxidants. Hi-Fi Senior is ideal as a hay replacer for older horses and ponies who can no longer chew the longer length of hay or haylage but can also be used for performance horses.
