EASY TO INCORPORATE
Made to fit into any horse management program and backed by extensive research, Haygain Steamed Hay supports your horse’s health and well-being in many ways.
PRIMARY BENEFIT OF FORAGE
This principal source of the nutrient's horses need is, unfortunately, also the biggest source of respirable irritants in the equine environment. Hay is grown in dirt, harvested with heavy equipment, transported and stored. That’s why even the most nutritious hay can be loaded with things horses don’t need and could be harmed by.
REDUCE UP TO 99% OF RESPIRABLE IRRITANTS
Respirable particles are commonly found in hay. Haygain supports respiratory health and helps reduce allergies. Added moisture helps with digestion and hydration, and Haygain’s proven palatability entices even picky eaters get their needed nutrients.

Multiple studies prove that respiratory challenges affect over 80% of active sport horses, often without obvious symptoms. The cause is inflammation in the upper and lower airways, triggered by inhalation of microscopic particles that irritate the lining of the respiratory tract.
Veterinarians agree that reducing respirable particles in the horse’s environment is the most effective way to reduce the risk of respiratory problems.
Forage is the biggest source of respirable particles in most horses’ environment, especially in their breathing zone.
Haygain’s patented steaming system is the only method proven to reduce up to 99% of the respirable particles commonly found in forage. And it does so without reducing nutrients.
By deactivating mould and bacteria commonly found in hay, Haygain steaming reduces the risk of colics related to ingesting these particles. A 2009 study showed that horses fed hay of poor hygienic quality were significantly more susceptible to colic than those fed clean hay.
Haygain steaming increases the moisture content in forage. More water supports healthy digestion and the passage of roughage through the digestive tract which helps prevent impaction colics.
Haygain’s proven appetite appeal helps ensure horses get their needed nutrients. The saliva generated by chewing helps protect the stomach lining from naturally occurring acids that can cause ulcers.
Haygain Steamed Hay has more moisture than dry hay – in some cases three times the water content. This helps with hydration, which is critical to all cellular function.
Haygain’s proven palatability entices even picky eaters to get their needed nutrients. This is especially valuable when travel stresses or illness might normally put the horse off their feed.
Allergens trigger symptoms ranging from inflamed airways and the related difficulty breathing to nasal discharge and skin problems.
Respirable dust in hay includes mould, fungi and bacteria that are often allergy triggers. This is true even in hay of excellent nutrient content. By significantly reducing these particles, Haygain Steaming reduces allergy risks and helps manage horses with allergic reactions to these particles.
Haygain Steamed Hay’s positive impact on respiratory, digestive and nutritional health support peak equine performance. Haygain is relied on and recommended by Olympic equestrians and veterinarians worldwide for that reason.
Haygain is dedicated to horse health. It’s icing on the cake that Haygain Steamed Hay helps owners in many ways, too!
A study at the Royal Agricultural University, Cirencester, showed that 25% of people working with horses have a diagnosed respiratory condition such as asthma
Clean, hygienic hay contributes greatly to healthy stable air. That’s great for your horses, for you and for everyone who helps care for them.
Steamed Hay’s proven palatability results in less wasted hay. Its support of respiratory, digestive and overall health can help keep veterinary bills at bay and ensure consistent training routines.
Haygain Steaming uses substantially less water than soaking hay, a less effective and outdated method of reducing respirable particles from forage. Soaking hay requires between 60 and 100 liters of water, while Haygain steaming requires just 4 liters. Worse, soaking leaches nutrients from the hay and the effluent from soaking can be up to 9X more polluted than raw sewage. Haygain Steaming produces no environmental pollutants.
Steamed hay’s appealing taste and texture result in less hay that’s wasted and needs to be hauled away.

"Wish we had bought one sooner. The horses love it! Horses which you used to be on soaked hay for health reasons, do very well on the steamed hay. Very economical on water compared to soaking and so easy to use. Would never go back to soaking. A fantastic product, Thank You!"
"We are always looking for ways to keep our horses more comfortable, healthier, happier and performing at their peak, partnering with Haygain is a perfect fit with our horse keeping philosophy."
"We get very good quality hay. It's very clean hay -- second-cut seeded hay -- from a local farmer. I'm sure you could feed it as it is. Haygain, for us, is really about peace of mind: knowing that we are surpassing the requirements for our horses."
"Haygain hay steamers are a simple, fool proof solution to improve our horse’s respiratory health. I recommend it for my patients and those owners who have adopted it really see the daily benefit it brings to their horses and would not revert to normal hay; and the horses love it!”
"I never want to go back to soaking hay again; as an asthmatic and an athlete myself, I cannot stick my nose in a regular bale of hay, but I can in a bale that has come out of the Haygain machine!"
