Feed stores charge small barns the highest price in the market. A Pool flips that: your barn and your neighbors split a full flatbed straight from the grower, freight shared by weight, every dollar on an open ledger. Buy one bundle or fill a whole stop. The truck only rolls when it fills, and if it does not fill, you were never charged.
Run a boarding barn? Host a stop. The truck delivers to you, neighbors pick up from your yard, and you can publish a small handling fee for your forklift time. Hosts approve every member before anyone sees an address.
Pick a pool, choose how many bundles (one bundle is about two horse-months), and join a delivery stop near you. You authorize a maximum and will pay that number or less.
Watch the flatbed load as neighbors join. Every new share lowers everyone's freight split. When it reaches the fill bar and every stop qualifies, the pool confirms and the truck rolls.
Big barns take a whole delivery. Smaller buyers collect from their stop's Host within 72 hours. Your bales are lot-traced from the field to your receipt, spec sheet included.
