How do you feed your Chaff?

Out of interest really..

I always feed chaff damp - warm in winter but thats just my preference as she lives out! Id never feed dry in case of choke!

 

[LadyRascasse]

always wet/damp

ETA i hate eating dry food cos it makes my mouth really dry so why should my horse

always damp for seeing a liverys horse nearly choke on it dry x

i feed chaff wet cause of the sugar beet content of the feed!

ponio has SB 365 days a year

I make my sugar beet extra sloppy in the winter to add moisture to their chaff. In the summer I dampen them with water. They really love their sugar beet juice. Sometimes...most days I give them both a big scoop of sugar beet juice over their stable doors before their breakfasts - they love it and it is a bit like I like to have a glass of water before my meal. it stops me bolting my food!

My horse chokes on anything and everything, and the only way to stop her choking is to feed Allen & Page Fast Fibre (soaked fibre pellets) with her chaff. I can't/won't feed her sugar beet because of her weight, and just dampening her HiFi isn't enough to stop her choking. Fast Fibre is nice and sloppy, but the fussy beggar won't eat it on its own so it has to be half and half FF and HiFi Lite!
Short answer - my horses always eat damp feeds

I put other - I don't normally feed chaff. They don't need the extra fibre as they have adlib hay anyway, and they don't bolt their feeds and choke, because I soak all feeds into a mash. When I have fed chaff I have always fed it wet, though.

Always damp, and warm on really cold evenings

I add mine to my mixes and sugar beet so I assume sort of damppish now I think about it! - but pressed other!

I used to wet it down but haven't this year and it's made no difference to T - he eats like it's going out of fashion, lol. Having said that, he does have a bit of sugar beet this year (didn't last year) but not much and it's fairly fluffy so doesn't really dampen it down.
