That's really funny!!

My mare does this too ... soaks her hay in her stable water bucket. Strangely, she only started doing it the winter before last. It's a relief to know she isn't the only one!

That's so cute!

Funny little thing, My mums mare does this too, we find most of her hay in her water bucket, which has soaked all the water up, which is a bit worrying as she'l have nothing to drink all night!

Dunking hay can be a sign that teeth need doing. Having said that one of mine does it all the time & his teeth are fine.

Well i did wonder weather there may be some significance to teeth ..He is booked in as it happens

Bless him.
I used to look after a showjumper who used to put all his hay in his bucket and leave it to soak for a bit before eating it He even did this after we had soaked it for him strange animal
