There are a lot of different bermuda grasses. In the SE there are three 
that are used for horses. There is coastal bermuda and as Jim points out 
Tifton 44 which is a hybrid bermuda hay and calie bermuda which is a 
high protein hybrid that is used by a lot of dairy farms in the SE.

For the most part I fee Tift 44. It is a very good horse hay. It is a 
little more coarse than coastal (which can be very fine) and does well 
with horses.
