en.Wedoany.com Reported - Standlee, a forage supplier based in Kimberly, Idaho, USA, launched its new feeding program, Forage Foundation™, on August 3, 2026. The core principle of this program is that forage is the nutritional foundation of every horse's daily diet.
Forage Foundation™ builds on Standlee's long-standing expertise in forage, emphasizing the role of quality forage in supporting equine digestive health, body condition, overall wellness, and performance. The program combines practical feeding guidance with trusted nutritional education to help horse owners make more informed decisions when building a balanced feeding plan.
Jessica Wright, Vice President of Marketing at Standlee, stated that Forage Foundation™ reflects the company's philosophy upheld for over four decades—that forage is the nutritional foundation of every horse's diet. She said the program aims to simplify equine nutrition management, give horse owners greater clarity on where forage fits in the diet, and provide them with reliable knowledge and quality forage solutions.
According to the company's rollout plan, Forage Foundation™ operates through a continuously expanding set of educational resources covering forage quality, digestive health, feeding consistency, seasonal nutrition, and practical feeding strategies for horses at different life stages and activity levels. Articles, videos, expert insights, retailer resources, and digital content are all included in the plan.
Since 1981, Standlee has grown, harvested, and delivered premium western forage and animal health products, ensuring quality consistency from field to bale through a vertically integrated "seed to feed" process. Its partners include horse owners, retailers, veterinarians, nutrition professionals, and industry leaders across North America. Forage Foundation™ carries on this business tradition, reinforcing the foundational role of quality forage in the diet through a clear framework while connecting horse owners with trusted nutritional resources and premium western forage products.
President Scott Plew noted that forage is not just a part of the diet—it is the cornerstone of a sound feeding program; structuring every horse's diet around quality forage aligns with the way the equine digestive system is designed to function healthily.
