I have one horse (15.3hh TB) and one pony (13.2hh ERP)
This winter i have sourced some beautiful large square baled haylage to feed my two.
They will have it adlib, well when i say adlib, its not on the ground or open, but put daily into a wooden hay feeder with a grill on the top to stop them from pulling the whole lot out and peeing on it. This will hopefully stop them gorging but should allow them to eat their fill more naturally.
only thing i can find similar for visualisation use

Taking this into account, how many bales do you think i will use per month?
I was thinking two a month but need to give the farmer a total amount so he can save them for me, but now im thinking it may be more like three (every ten days)?
what do you think?
