Yeoman Haylage

26/07/2024

The last of the Timothy fields are being cut today. Thank goodness!

22/07/2024

We love a nice surprise here at Yeoman Haylage and even more so when it means getting some of our much sought-after Timothy haylage in a day early! We've had what feels like a giant hairdryer blowing over us today🌞💨 and the grass is drying fast. Totally unprepared for a later finish but no complaints here😁

It's not just field and barn teams that we count on to make our season go as smoothly as possible, it's the team behind the scenes too. Liz has great support from her mum with the horses and laundry, from friends entertaining Imogen and from Liz's mother in law Gilly pictured here who runs around after us all checking if we need anything. She caters for 10 of us most nights, never knowing what time we'll be having our tea! She also keeps our gardens looking bright and colourful. We are very lucky to have such a great support network around us🤩

It's July☔️😣 It's wet🌧 We're feeling a tad fed up🤨
Looking on the bright side, the second cut ryegrass is LOVING this rain (pictured here)😁 It is also giving us the opportunity to get orders out to our patient customers. and are today's destinations.

This news will make some of our customers very happy😁 We started our Timothy haylage yesterday and what a crop it is! We were astounded at the high yields and delighted with the quality that we work so hard to produce. We were so relieved to get it all in before the rain came!
This is a low sugar haylage , popular with horses/ponies prone to laminitis, EMS & good-doers.

We were so pleased to have got the last field of first cut Ryegrass haylage baled and wrapped yesterday. It has been a very difficult June dodging the weather but we are delighted with the yields and superb quality of the haylage.

Our ryegrass haylage will ferment for 6-8 weeks and when it is ready for consumption we will get the bales analysed. Our ryegrass haylage is popular with racing yards, eventers and competition horses & ponies in a wide range of disciplines.

After a stop/start beginning to our season, we have finally been able to get going again. Let's see how far we get this time before the rain comes again. A very different June to last year when we haylaged for 28 days in a row getting all of first cut done just like that!

Huge congratulations to our sponsored rider Kitty King Eventing for winning the 4*S at Defender Bramham Horse Trials on Vendredi Biats. She also came 6th on Cristal Fontaine. 2 in the top 10 is a fantastic result👏 Well done Kitty🤩

Haylage season 2024 has started🥳 Here is John explaining to Henry why we leave cutting as late as possible. There is a lot of science involved and listening to John, you can see why we are known for our quality haylage. You can take the lecturer out of the college but he will never stop teaching and it's fascinating to learn about.

We are very proud of our talented sponsored rider Thomas Harris who has just had a brilliant weekend at Hickstead representing his school at at the championships🤩
Thomas qualified in various events throughout the winter at Bicton and Pontispool on his 2 ponies Cassie & Charlie, to secure his place at Hickstead.
Thomas rode Cassy & Charlie in the showjumping, and Cassy in the arena eventing & showjumping. The showjumping on Charlie was a very big class and sounds like his mum Amy was watching through her fingers!!
We have watched Thomas grow on his ponies over the last few years and we feel very proud and excited to see where he’s heading. Thank you for the super rugs & hoodie😍 They look fantastic!
Well done for your debut weekend at Hickstead Thomas🙌 We can’t wait to see what’s next😁

Devon County Show starts today and we are excited to hear that Edward Chanin will be demonstrating dressage displays on all 3 days🤩
Ed started riding from a very young age going on to represent GB in showjumping. He grew up watching and helping his father train point to point horses and went on to racing in point to points and then National Hunt.
In December 2001, Ed had a life changing fall whilst jump schooling. He had a near fatal head injury and a broken back which left him right-side paraplegic but after a couple of years of intense recovery, Ed was back on horses when his mum took him to Riding for the Disabled. He went on to compete at para and able-bodied dressage and is still doing so now, on in his trusted steed Frankie. We have got to know Ed over the last few years, and he is the most positive, cheerful and optimistic person. He is always smiling! As the youngest YH team member Imogen said this morning, “Ed is an inspiration for any rider that wants to achieve their dreams”. Good luck this week Ed🤩

Well, that was a busy way to end the week🤪 Yet another lorry loaded for Wales, machinery repairs, a LOT of restacking of bales & pallet wrapping, deliveries out across Devon & Cornwall and collections😅 It's hard to believe we are still sending this much haylage out for the time of year but people are trying to save summer paddocks (us included) and the rain won't give the ground a chance to dry up🙄

Happy St George's Day🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

A lorry load of Meadow haylage left the yard before 8am this morning. The demand for hay & haylage is still very high but we're keeping up and still smiling 😃

25/03/2024

We start another week off with almost a full week of deliveries, a very busy phone plus our access road both sides of the farm still closed😅 It's great to be so busy and the road has been in desperate need of repair for years so we are muddling along and still smiling😁
John and Tom are doing their best to get all deliveries out before Easter but new orders may now have to wait until next week depending on location.

18/03/2024

Goodness gracious me we’ve hit the ground running this morning🥴 The orders are still coming in thick & fast. We have deliveries out in Wales, Wiltshire, Somerset & Devon today🚛
Liz has been working her way through the weekend’s enquiry list🤓 We’re so grateful to be kept this busy.
Coffee is helping☕️🤭

14/03/2024

We're so pleased to be getting our access road resurfaced next week😅 One way out has almost become unpassable, so much needed.
This will affect deliveries next week as we are in the middle of the 2.5 miles being worked on. We have been told some days we'll be able to get out, some days we won't so planning ahead will go out the window🥴 All orders that have already been placed with us will be delivered by Monday afternoon at the latest.

It is great to see Kitty King Eventing back and showing us all how it’s done👏 What a brilliant first weekend of results for Ceylon Lan🥈Vendredi Biats🥉and young horse MBF Redhouse Evoque🥈✨ We can’t wait to see what this season brings for our sponsored rider Kitty and her talented horses

Celebrating 🙋‍♀️ Here are your 2 marketing and sales contacts, Liz & Lindsey😁 They might be smaller in numbers, but you can't spell 'hero' without 'her' 😆

07/03/2024

We are always looking at ways to move forward so Liz has decided to consolidate what she has learnt about hay & haylage and study for a Diploma in Equine Nutrition🤓 She is a good way through it and is finding it so much fun! It will give customers greater confidence when they ask for our advice, although this is already an area we are highly praised for😁
