Action Alert: AHC Seeks to Document Equestrian Access Issues on Public Land
The American Horse Council has launched a new effort to collect information on access issues equestrians are experiencing on federal lands. The center piece of this effort is an AHC online form riders can use to report their personal experiences regarding trails and federal lands that have been closed to them or other access issues. This online form is located here https://www.horsecouncil.org/survey.php.
For more information see our AHC or Trail page.

Hay Available
We have a hybrid bermuda at our Hazlehurst GA location...1100lb round rolls are $50 ... square bales are $5.25 with a price break of $4.75 for 500 bale orders....Paul 912-375-2896 or 478-953-3860

Here is a partial list of hay we have available:
Timothy
Timothy/ Orchard Grass mix
Alfalfa
Timothy/ Alfalfa mix
Squares and rounds
Square loads delivered in a 53' box trailer, aprx 600 bales per load.
Rounds delivered on a 43' flat bed, 34 bales per load.
Prices will vary depending on delivery distance (unfortunately.) The timothy /orchard mix arriving here in Savannah tomorrow will be $7 per bale, bales weigh aprx 50#. (There will be 674 bales on this load.)
My contact information: phone: 912-330-8856 email: swequine@yahoo.com
To place an order, I will just need a zip code for delivery, type of hay, and quantity needed. I can give the price after that info is obtained.
Our goal with this is NOT to make a quick buck off the horse owners here- it is to provide quality hay for these horses, and PREVENT as many as we can from going hungry. Our prices will remain as low as we can possibly make them to get this hay here, in hopes to encourage folks to buy a bit here and a bit there, to store for this winter/ spring 2008. The recent events that had hay prices up over $10 per bale made us sick- and we decided to try and do SOMETHING to help out as much as we could. I hate to say it, but by this winter if not a bit sooner, horse owners are looking at being right back in the same boat as this spring- with incredible hay prices, and ANY hay about as scarce as hens teeth.
IF anyone has any questions, please feel free to give me a call or drop an email. I will be MORE than happy to do what I can to help out on this end!
