Now either there's still a substantial amount of grass in the field, or Chex has turned anorexic
Is anyone elses horses still eating not much over night? For the 2 horses, I was giving them most of a small haylage bale a night, but cut it down as they were just wasting it. Now they're getting 2 leafs each a night, and I'm lucky if one leaf has been eaten between the two of them!! I put the stuff they don't eat on the floor on the other side of the pen, incase they suddenly decide they're hungry (but they don't eat it). I'm trying not to worry about them, but what they're eating is no where near enough for them!
Luckily Chex is still rather fat from summer, and could do with losing a few kgs! I'm hoping its just because they're stuffing their faces with grass all day so not up for eating much at night? Am I the only one with horses not eating their hay?
