Because we also dairy farm, and what we raise for the cows is alfalfa, yes I feed my ponies alfalfa. When feeding alfalfa most of them are not on grain - just a rational balancing supplement designed to be fed with alfalfa.
There have been many years when they've been on straight alfalfa and as long as they get a ration balancer they do well and look great!My ponies do get some alfalfa. I think they are in better condition when fed some alfalfa as opposed to straight grass hay. Lewella, do you feed yours only alfalfa at times?
Somebody forgot to tell Kuzco he is supposed to be an easy keeper........hes easy to keep alright, with LOTS of food he does fine!I've found the shetlands are easier keepers then the minis to be honest, i know some find that they are harder to keep as they are so active, but, i have three shetlands in the barn right now and i've found the complete opposite with all three of mine .
