Sorry - a winter question about hay

[Supertrooper]

For those with horses that live out, how do you feed your hay? Just off floor or in buckets??

The hay hutches are very useful. Keeps your hay dry and clean

Can you move them around to stop pouching?

I have wasted a lot of hay before if they soil it or dont eat and it gets mushed in. Ideally a hay net tied up somewhere on a post/field shelter. But I usually do throw it on the floor and monitor if its wasted or not ie they must be having too much.

I have often thought about getting one of those cattle rings to fill up to stop waste or a hay bar?.

If I have done the hay nets in field shelter I fill up a whole load of them to last a few days to save time in the dark and I do work as well!

These: (and I am feeding hay NOW!) 4 posts about 6' apart, re-cycled cedar fence rails, cost = few cents for nails and fuel for the chain saw, only downside is that they aren't mobile but we don't get much mud anyway, the foals use them as nests!
