It's high here too with the gas prices and it refecting back into the price of a bag of feed. For the last several years we had 25 QH's and now we are down to 8. Our local dealer use to give us a great price break since we bought so much but now we pay regualr price. Yikes!

We fed our QH's Purina Strategy for years now and they have done well but he told me to get Equine Adult for the stud and older mare and Equine Jr. for the weanlings and yearling. They gobble it up and are are still looking as good as they day we bought them so I guess it is working. We will...

Thanks Becky for the Welcome! Your comments were most helpful and made me feel that I am "doin the right thing" by weighing their hay and gauging, age, weight & activity level. I am so use to feeding armfuls vs. handfuls. We have them on the Equine Adult & Equine Jr., depending on age, with the...

Have had QH's my whole life so we are new to miniature horses. Asked my Purina Rep how much hay. It seems like such a minimal amount but I do realize the body size is quite different. How much hay is recommended? Right now we are weighing out their hay on a scale so we don't over or under feed...
