Reliable Forage

Are your horses getting the nutrition they deserve?
Every horse depends on steady, reliable nutrition — and that’s exactly what Elite Forage is built to provide.
Each bale is crafted with care, inspected for quality, and compressed for easier handling, giving your barn a dependable feed source day after day. When the forage is consistent, everything else in your routine becomes a little smoother: healthier horses, calmer mornings, and fewer surprises in the feed room.

“Elite Forage keeps my horses feeling strong and ready for the kind of runs where every second matters. Penney handles long hauls, hard stops, and high-pressure runs without dropping off, and this feed plays a big part in that. It gives my program the power and support it needs to stay competitive at the top level.”

Elite Forage is made by people who live and work with horses.
At Border Valley Trading, we’re horse owners, riders, and caretakers ourselves, so we know how much the right forage matters. Our state-of-the-art facility in the Imperial Valley gives us the ability to source carefully, inspect thoroughly, and craft a cleaner, more dependable bale. Decades of agricultural experience and a deep respect for the animals we serve guide every decision we make. Elite Forage isn’t just a product we produce — it’s a standard we uphold, built from the same care we give our own horses.
