On reading a thread below it got me thinking. For those of you that restrict your hay do you weight it and what does a "restricted" amount weigh???
I do limit the hay my minis get but i dont feed grain/ concentrates at all. There hard feed is purely fibre based and is called "simple systems" over here in England. So although they dont get a large amount of hay they do get a large amount of forage. They seem to do well off it. They also get a balancer to ensure minerals and vits.
Alot of mini owners i have spoken to have said " restrict hay during show season" but i dont really understand how much to give??? I am too used to larger horses and anything under 3 slices of hay is restricted to me!!!
