September 7, 2018: Knowing that many potential FEI World Equestrian Games equine contenders rely on steamed hay every day, the Haygain team began planning to provide it many months before the competition begins Sept. 11 at the Tyron International Equestrian Center.

As with the WEG 2014 in Normandy, France, Haygain began working with country federations to understand requirements for hay steamers at Tryon. Past experience helps, but a new host country, venue, organizers, teams and – most of all — horses meant a whole new series of logistics.

Those have all been mastered now as 22 300-pound HG 2000 hay steamers await designated horses at the Tyron International Equestrian Center’s highly-secured FEI stabling. They’re ready for close to 200 horses whose representatives jumped at the chance to have the same clean, irritant-free hay their elite equine athletes thrive on at home.

Haygain also partnered with Kentucky Equine Research to organize the complex logistics of stall allocation, set-up and communication with riders at WEG.  The world-renowned “KER” is the official equine nutritionist for WEG Tyron 2018, a role it has filled for international equestrian sport for over 20 years
