Orchard hay is usually just a grass hay, so it may be your local hay. There are similar types of grass hay, (timothy, rye) and sometimes you can find them mixed with other types of hay. This kind of hay is good but for most horses they may need alfalfa or oat hay in addition to orchard. 'Easy keepers' do well with orchard hay because they maintain their body weight more easily.
