Hello All,
I have always fed my mini's a nice grass hay, In my area grass hay is very hard to find but Alfalfa is in good supply. I had no choice but to buy Alfalfa this time, it is very nice 2nd cutting. My question and concern is that I only have 20 bales of grass left to make the switch to Alfalfa, the switch will be quicker that I would like. Any ideas? how much alfalfa would you add daily to the grass? I only feed each mini 1/2 flake grass morning and night at this time with their grain. After the switch how much Alfalfa would you feed daily? I have 6 bred mares, 3 stallions and 12 mares/geldings between 1-6 years old that are show/driving or just pets. Would you cut out the grain on the horses not bred or working? I do have pasture mineral tubs available in all paddocks. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
