Sponsor Spotlight – H&M Haylage
In this issue we catch up with our fantastic sponsor H&M Haylage to find out more about their superb range of forage.
How did H&M Haylage first come to launch?
Combining strong partnerships with the utilisation of specialised machinery the team at H&M Haylage and sister company JS & J Buckley has over 100 plus years’ experience in the agriculture and livestock industry.
With the desire to put all of this knowledge and expertise to good use combined with the perfect grass growing land and the passion to grow and diversify the family farming business H&M Haylage began in March 2020, specialising in the production of superior quality and nutritious haylage and hay for horses and ponies.
Based near Brigg, North Lincolnshire H&M Haylage are a family run business and pride themselves on producing top quality haylage and hay for the equestrian market.
Tell us about the range?
The H&M Haylage range consists of two varieties of haylage, a Ryegrass Haylage and a Meadow Haylage. The haylage range is complemented by a dust free H&M Wrapped Meadow Hay. Providing dust free forage to suit a wide variety of horses and ponies with essential planning and timing throughout the growing season all their products are produced to the highest quality.
H&M Ryegrass Haylage is medium in energy and very palatable making it a great all round haylage suitable for a range of equines including competition horses and ponies and those in full work.
H&M Meadow Haylage is low in energy and is ideal for a range of horses and ponies including those less active or in light work.
H&M Wrapped Meadow Hay is low in energy and is completely dust free. It is suitable for horses and ponies that are in light work, at rest or those who need their weight controlled.
All varieties are available in handy 15kg (approx.) bales for easy handling and minimum wastage and new for the 2021 season will be 130kg bales in H&M Ryegrass Haylage and H&M Meadow Haylage.

What are the most popular products for event horses?
The most popular product in the H&M Haylage range for event horses is the H&M Ryegrass Haylage. It is a medium energy haylage, and great for fulfilling the energy needs of competition horses.
The handy 15kg bales make them perfect for travelling to shows and taking out and about in the lorries.
What are you most looking forward to for the brand this year?
Said Managing Director, Hugh Buckley: “It is our second year in business this year and we have lots in the pipeline.
“We are particularly looking forward to launching our brand new 130kg bales in both our haylage varieties. There has been great demand for larger bales and we can’t wait to be able to offer the same standard of high quality haylage as our handy small bales in a larger quantity. These will be available for nationwide delivery just as the 15kg bales are.
“We are also looking forward to continuing the exciting eventing season as sponsors of BEDE Events, there is a great series of venues and we hope to meet lots of new people.
“Don’t forget to like our Facebook page and follow us on Instagram for lots of exciting news, product launches and competitions to come this year.”
