you are rich to be spending that much
5 BALES IN THE SUMMER ?!!? OVER HERE THATS

I feed my Mare AD LIB hay, if she has to be stuck in the stable. But its not only important for health reasons for horses to eat all the time, i.e munching at grass/hay as much as they want. Its also important for them physiologically to be muching, it's what they are ''supposed to do'' so not allowing them this is no good for their health or their mindset.xxx
 
ATo answer *MT*'s earlier question, an average-sized slice of hay will weigh approx 1kg and take approx. 20 mins to eat, so I very much doubt that it would last your horse 3-4- hours.

Its probably also worth remebering that a "bale" isnt a specific amount of hay. A "bale" could be a small bale, a large bale, a huge round bale, a massive oblong bale....even a "section" or flake of hay isnt a specific amount. Ad lib hay is the easiest way to go.
 
as we have no grass in the paddocks as cuz of mud =[ as they are outside horses they stay in there pen and they walk all over and make it muddy but this year we are making the padocks smaller so we can grow grass
