About

With over 30 years of experience conserving forage, Ed Howard has developed the high-quality EH Haylage products that are available today.

Heritage

EH Haylage was initially created by Ed Howard in response to a challenge faced by his eventing horse, Basil. After becoming allergic to the dust in hay, Basil was also diagnosed with COPD. Determined to find a solution, Ed set out to develop a dust-free alternative forage to traditional hay – leading to the creation of EH Haylage. 
 
In 2021 Ed handed the EH Haylage reins over to his cousin’s family, the Scotts, who have been growing haylage under the T H Scott & Son brand since 2012.
 
This marked a new chapter in both haylage brands’ histories as they consolidated haylage production under the single banner of EH Haylage at new premises built in Beeston, near Dereham in Mid Norfolk.
 
Over a 20-year period EH Haylage has produced over 2.5 million haylage bales, with multiple product lines for horses’ differing nutritional needs.

EH Haylage founder Ed continues to work with the Scotts behind the scenes, advising on grass growth and production, making best use of their combined expertise built up over two generations.

In September 2023 the Scotts were delighted to welcome Ian Gibson to the haylage team as General Manager. With over 25 years’ working in the equine feed industry, he has a wealth of experience to draw on.

Our Process

The highest level of quality control is maintained across the entire process; from crop seeding through to the critical harvesting, packaging, storing and distribution.
 
EH Haylage bales are made from specially selected ryegrass varieties. We manage our grass like our arable crops and keep it free from invasive weeds so that the forage is safe and palatable. The haylage is then cut and baled in plastic to retain its moisture before being packed in sealed bags, based on the seasonal dry matter.
 
We now offer six products in ‘handy’ bales – Original, Hi-Fibre, Soft Cut, Lite, Hay and Barley Straw – as well as larger ‘Scottie’ first- and second-cut haylage bales.
