OK - we would call that long straw. It's not used as a feed stuff over here - in fact I think it's only used for thatching. I would have thought it would make a very pretty energy feed, with the grain still attached. Often people here with big horses have problems with choke if they feed straw, though I've never had that with the Icelandics.
