Timothy Grass Mini Cubes: A Winter-Friendly Forage Your Horse Will Love
By Standlee Premium Western Forage
When temperatures drop and pasture quality declines, forage becomes the foundation of keeping your horse healthy, warm and focused during training. This winter, Standlee is excited to introduce a new product that makes cold-weather feeding easier, cleaner and more consistent—Timothy Grass Mini Cubes.
Designed for convenience without sacrificing quality, Mini Cubes offer horse owners a dependable forage option that fits seamlessly into winter routines, busy training schedules and travel plans.
Why Timothy Forage Matters in Winter
Timothy forage has long been a favorite among trainers and horse owners because of its:
- High fiber to support gut health and warmth
- Low-to-moderate protein, ideal for easy keepers
- Naturally palatable flavor horses enjoy
- Steady energy that supports riding and groundwork
In winter, horses rely heavily on forage to maintain body heat. When grazing is limited and hay quality can vary, having a consistent, predictable option like Timothy Mini Cubes helps fill in the gaps.
What Makes Standlee’s Mini Cubes Special?
Timothy Grass Mini Cubes provide all the nutritional benefits of long-stem Timothy hay, but in a smaller, easier-to-chew form. Each cube is made from 100% premium sun-cured Timothy grass and is carefully processed to preserve nutrients and palatability.
The Mini Cubes Are:
- Convenient to feed
- Easy to store
- Low in dust
- Consistent in quality
- Great for travel, clinics and winter riding programs
With Mini Cubes, your horse gets the benefit of top-quality forage in a cleaner, more manageable form.
Bentonite: The Binder Behind Standlee Cubes
Because Timothy hay is naturally soft, leafy and lower in structural density, it doesn’t compress easily into a stable cube on its own. To maintain shape, durability, and consistency, Standlee uses a small amount of bentonite—a naturally occurring clay widely used across the feed industry as a binder.
Here’s why it matters:
✔ Helps Cubes Hold Their Shape
Bentonite keeps Mini Cubes intact during manufacturing, bagging, shipping and feeding—so you get a clean, uniform product every time.
✔ Reduces Dust and Fines
By binding small forage particles together, bentonite naturally reduces dust, creating a cleaner feeding experience, especially helpful in winter barns and indoor arenas.
✔ Safe and Regulated
Included at less than 2 percent of cube weight, bentonite is well-studied and recognized as safe for horses and livestock.
It doesn’t change the nutritional value of the forage, just the cube’s structure.
The result? A durable, dust-reduced, premium-quality forage cube you can feed with confidence.
A Winter-Friendly Forage Option for Every Horse
Timothy Grass Mini Cubes are ideal for:
- Senior horses needing easier-to-chew forage
- Horses in winter training programs
- Horses sensitive to dust or respiratory irritation
- Travel, clinics and hauling
- Busy barns wanting cleaner feeding routines
- Cold regions where hay storage and waste are challenging
As always, consult your veterinarian for personalized feeding recommendations.
How to Feed Timothy Mini Cubes
- Introduce gradually over 7–10 days
- Feed by weight (not scoop size)
- Provide unlimited fresh, unfrozen water
- Soak for horses with dental issues or when extra hydration is needed
- Use as a partial or full forage replacement depending on your horse’s diet
As always, consult your veterinarian for personalized feeding recommendations.
