Feed stores near Santa Ynez
3 feed and farm supply stores are mapped within about twenty-five miles of Santa Ynez. Hay and grain are too heavy to ship, so the feed store is where a horse's groceries come from; the price of a bale here is the number that moves the monthly bill.
Santa Ynez is dry country: heat is the main limit, and dry heat is easier on a horse than humid heat as long as water and salt are always there. Dust and hard ground mean more attention to lungs and feet; shade in turnout is not optional.
The 3 feed and farm stores, closest first
Before you go
- Ask what hay they carry (grass, alfalfa, mixed), where it is from and when it was cut; look at and smell a bale before buying a load.
- Most stores will hold a standing order and load the truck; ask about delivery minimums.
- Check the label on anything shared with cattle feed: ionophores (monensin) in cattle feed are deadly to horses.
What works
- Buy grain by the formulated bag, not loose; the label is the guarantee.
- Shavings: ask the wood. Black walnut causes laminitis.
- Weigh a flake once; flakes vary from two pounds to seven.
- Store feed in sealed metal bins; raccoons and mice open everything else.
- Buy fly control before fly season, when it is in stock.
