I'm now weighing the hay of my welsh mares as don't want them getting any bigger into the summer. One of them is 14.3 and weightaped today at 398kg, vet said she is fine but no bigger. I prefer her at 385kg on the weightape so currently feeding 1.5% forage but its really not alot compared to what I used to give her.
Any ideas on how to make it last longer overnight. I feed from the floor as I don't like haynets its better for their backs and stops them getting muscle strains. I go up once a day but they're turned out at about 8am ish in their field which appears to have no grass but they're heads are down so I assume they're finding something!
