I'm new to having horses at home. I now need to start buying hay for this fall and winter. How many bales per month would I need for 2 minis?
If you expect to keep them in good shape as well as healthy is to find a scale and weigh your hay. My horses are at a good weight. If I actually worked them I'd have to increase the amount of food they get but they really don't "work" like they would at a trainer's place. So I feed (particularly in the winter) 1 1/2% of body weight. (There are math formulas for determining their weight.) 50% of that should be hay with no more than 1 1/4 lb grain for 250 lb horse.I'm new to having horses at home.
