What to do with unwanted hay?

[kit279]

I've just moved house and inherited a field shelter full of small bales of hay from the previous owners who used it for their alpacas. I've ordered in my haylage for the year - always feed haylage as have Thoroughbreds and they keep their weight better on this - so I have no use for the hay particularly and could do with the extra space in the fields shelter. Is there anything I can do with the unwanted hay? We are on the Bucks/Oxon border - is there anyone who would be interested in rehoming it? It would be suitable for horses - are there any charities who might be interested in it? Don't want any money for it but haven't got an easy way of transporting it at present.

if they can transport it I would have thought charities would be over the moon to have it.

if its not nice quality the farmer gives it to the cows! if its nice, id sell it!!

Sell it or give it to a horse-charity.

Stick an ad on preloved - ask them to collect and write a cheque to a charity for you to post, at £2 a bale someone will get bargin hay and charity gets a nice winter donation (assuming it's ok hay)

If you are stuck I can come and pick it up next weekend (assuming it is okay for horses)

You could either give it away or I would soak it and just use it if its ok even if you just put it in the field for your horses to eat.

You should donate it, any local centres? at this time of year it would be such a huge help and give you a nice warm feeling of helping
