It depends on the quality of both on the needs of the horse! I prefer to feed haylage as it is dust free and the horses love it! However, haylage can be more expensive and does usually contain more energy than hay. I actually feed mine a mix of both at the moment going in to spring as haylage can also help with weight as a post to hay...in my opinion  |

Hay is better if lami might be an issues, but haylage is better if any dust allergy. Mixing can be a very good answer. |
