23 large round bales for 3 horses. That's what I made, so that's what I have.
Anticipate on using about two tonnes .This should last you tillthe end of April. Two tonnes is 100 reasonable sized small bales . Offer the horse a sample first , its no use buying hay they wont eat.The age old question!
I know it can always only be approximate, but how many hay bales have you stocked up on for winter?
Preferably for one horse and small bales, in at night and out during the day during the winter months.
I have a 15hh cob mare who is in her 20's, an incredibly good doer, she usually lives out all year round but the yard we are now at the horses come in on a night from November.
I am making another order for winter but I have no idea on the amount to order! as I don't usually require so much.
How many small bales have you ordered for your horse?
Or large bale equivalent?
Details of your horse and the hours in and out would be gratefully appreciated
Thank you in advance!
i will add she is now only in very light work
£2 each!!!77 bales. They are really nice and were only £2 each!
Do need some more though we also need straw for my weirdo who prefers it to hay...
£2 each!!!
That is cheap.
It is interesting how dense the farmer chooses to make a bale. Sometimes the hay supplied from one supplier can have bales packed so loosely I reckon that it contains about half the amount of hay in another in a bale supplied by a different supplier but it is still charged as 1 bale.
