EAST COAST EQUESTRIAN June/July 2023 Page 21 If you have horses, you need hay! Finding good quality hay can sometimes be a major headache, and nothing is more essential to your horses’ health. Hicks Hay is the solution for all your hay needs. Hicks Hay, located in Ken- nett Square, PA, offers Timothy, Alfalfa, Mixed Hay, Orchard Grass, Grass Hay and Wheat Straw. They run high quality hay through a hay cutter to create two small, easy to handle bale sizes. The cutting process allows Hicks Hay to examine the bales, so they know each bale is sound throughout. The small bales flake off when opened like a big bale would. This helps custom- ers measure how much they are feeding their horses. The small bales come in two sizes, 40 and 60 pounds. Hicks Hay sells high qual- ity hay that is forage tested, so customers can see nutrition facts. This allows owners and managers to keep their horses on a spe- Need Hay? Hicks Hay is Your Solution cific diet. They will deliver hay and straw directly to customers’ barns. Customers can set up re- curring deliveries to ensure they never run out of hay. Customers are welcome to stop by and pick up hay or they can schedule a delivery. Hicks Hay will deliver hay into lofts, stalls, bank barns, and anywhere customers need their hay stacked. They also offer palletized hay, which is great for storage. The palletized hay keeps the hay off the ground, and the bales are tightly wrapped on the pallet to optimize space in your barn. Delivery is available to customers in PA, MD, DE and NJ and tractor trailer loads can be delivered anywhere on the east coast. Customers are welcome to stop by their facility in Chester County, PA and pick up sample bales for their horses to try before they commit to a full order of hay.
