Consistent exercise and smart decisions help in the competition ring, but Alex Bragg praises steamed hay for being a top factor in keeping his horses consistently feeling healthy. 

Even "good" hay can have bad things in it.

Choice of forage should not only be based on which type of forage may be most suitable, but also what forage you can reliably source of good consistent quality.
As forage should comprise the majority of any horse’s diet, knowing a little more about where we are sourcing our forage from and what questions to ask from the provider is key in ensuring we make the best feeding decisions.
