The sides are fairly thick and solid, but if he's bored there are a lot of ways he could do damage to himself with it, imo. If you search ( for haycube as well as hay cube) there are a few threads. In particular this one may have useful info for you...

I'm booked for two sessions. I'm not so bothered about the actual films as they are all horsey, and it will just be fab to have a horsey film watching day, in early February, to beat the winter blues. And there will be lots of other horsey people there, too.

I do like the chopped wheat despite the lack of lavender, and am taking out no more than I did with the chopped rape (but do use straw pellets underneath). Well, I wrote to them, well over a month ago now, to report the lack of lavender scent too. They didn't bother to reply! However I do...

Blimey, where are you based?!? Silage in January??

Thanks for all responses: it's really useful to read what others' experiences and strategies are. Could I ask, without having to do the research myself, which types of bagged haylage are OK to use for EMS/laminitics, please? So far we've managed to soak as, apart from 2 days, we've had running...

It's at about 1.08 seconds in...on skis behind her horse. Clip is about the snow in Holland, language is Dutch but you'd get the idea. https://nos.nl/video/2597301-snowboarden-iglo-s-bouwen-of-achter-je-pony-op-de-ski-s-de-sneeuwpret-in-beeld 1 minute 8 seconds! <iced-up-brains>…

On top of all of that: how is everyone managing to soak their hay?
