By Charlotte Miller Hey Horses! There is a new hay on the menu. Perennial Peanut Hay! It is a high quality legume hay, equivalent to alfalfa in nutritional value. Close to alfalfa in protein content, amino acids and mineral content, it has fine stems and large leaves. Perennial Peanut is not a peanut producing plant – it is a sterile rhizome that has no nut. It was developed and tested by the University of Florida and was originally introduced into this country from Brazil as part of an experiment. Years later, leftover stray rhizomes were rediscovered from the original experiment – the Florigraze cultivar – and Peanut Hay production was started.

By Mary Alice Edwards As I sit here in the barn at Hassler Dressage Riveredge’s West facility in Maryland, I am grateful for the opportunity to be able to observe excellent riding and teaching. I would like to thank SEDA and the scholarship committee for helping me achieve this dream with awarding me the 2014 Spring Adult Scholarship.
