Hi, does anyone have any clever ways they use to make their horse's hay last longer???

Thanks, that's really helpful :)

Thanks Sharky, why did you decide half an hour was a good length of time??

Thanks for all that info! I agree about the leaving the hay in the water... no logic in that! unless soaking to reduce dust... then it may work! Am really looking for people who soak just to REDUCE DUST... anyone??

Thanks Leviathan, are you doing that to reduce nutrients or dust?? Sorry didnt read that properly, obv to reduce nutirents

Thanks Lotty, so you are soaking to remove nutrients, not dust?

Hello, I am doing a project for uni about soaking hay, just for some background information does anyone routinely soak their hay to reduce dust levels? If so how long do you soak for and why?? Thanks!

i know there is but i have been eyeing up the little cross country jumps too... thats something my boy needs introducing to and if they are there may as well make the most of them! :)

instead of letting him drop back to trot of his own accord try to keep him going long enough that you are the one asking to go back to trot - difficult if he will only canter for 2 seconds i know... start really small and only ask for a few of strides of canter before bringing him back to trot...

thank you, will do!

sandwich is amazing, just watch out for patches of sand that are less solid

its like a wardrobe for rugs! so simple yet looks very effective, i would definitely buy it!

I am moving my horse to a yard in Roxwell next month and know there is really good hacking that you need a hatband to access, does anybody know how i get hold of a hatband and how much they cost??
