was just wondering how much hay and/or haylege to you feed for morning lunch and dinner?

i am moving yards and need to keep a routine any help appreciated thanks xx
 
I normally fill a large net up of haylage as in overnight - but at Uni they are quite strict and feed 3kg of hay in am and 6-7 kg of hay for eve, no turn out and half a scoop of alfalfa and nuts am and same for evening - they do three hours work a day.
 
It really depends on your horse. I give mine as much as she can eat! But then i am trying to put weight on her!

There is so much advice on regards to haylage, so people say feed more as there is more water content in the than hay. But some people say feed less as it is richer.

I think you just have to go with how much she wants to eat - i would rather there be some left in the morning that them having eaten all of eat and be standing in eating nothing. But i am sure some people would disagree!

Sorry that's prob no use to you at all!!!
 
Chex will get as much haylage as he'll eat, which is very little. Probably give him about half a small bale a day, he eats about half a leaf of that. He only gets that at night as he's turned out all day.
