Never had any experience with soaking hay so could do with some help and advice.
As I am limited for time (dark nights and working full time) would I be able to soak the hay over night then lift it to drain during the day and then feed the following night?
The yard owners don't want me to feed wet hay (ie water dripping off the net) as they say it will damage the wood walls of the stables so I thought if I left the nets to drip dry during the day over the drain the hay would still stay damp but would not be soaking wet.
My main reason for soaking the hay is to reduce calorie content for my shetlands is soaking over night long enough?
