For those that aren't familiar with Tifton and horses, Tifton is thicker stemmed than coastal. However it's been proven over and over that thicker stemmed hay is better for a horse's digestive tract than fine stemmed coastal. Most colic cases come from coastal being fine stemmed.
The fact that Tifton 85 is also lower in sugar content is important because there are so many horses that are insulin resistant and have developed laminitis and foundered.
So if you have a horse that is insulin resistant and has foundered, I would highly suggest Tifton 85 for its sugar content as it may be a better option for you than coastal Bermuda.
It's also some of the best cow hay ever..
