Best Answer

A horse eats roughly 2 % of it's bodyweight per day in hay/ roughage. So a 1,000 pound horse would eat around 20 pounds a day. A typical 2-string square bale is around 40 pounds, so that would be half a bale per day. A 3-string bale can be 100 to 140 pounds on average so that would be a one seventh to one fifth of one of those bales.Round bales typically are 600 pounds and up so that would be one thirtieth of a bale.

Since the horse eats 3 bales of hay every 6 days, you have to find out how much of a bale the horse eats in 1 day. You divide both by 6, getting that the horse eats 0.5 (1/2) of a bale of a day. You have to multiply this by 32. The answer is about 16 bales of hay. : )

This is an impossible question to answer as each horse varies in size and work load. Also bales of hay vary in size, they can be as light as 40lbs and as heavy as 120lbs.

Does a 1800 lb draft horse eat a bale of hay per day?

A draft horse should eat 1 to 2.5% of it's bodyweight in forage per day (light horses should get 1.5 to 3%.) So an 1800 pound draft horse should get 18 to 45 pounds per day, this equals out to roughly half to a full bale or more of hay per day if those bales are standard 40 pound bales. However this may go up or down according to a horses age, activity level, how easy of a keeper it is, and what time of year it is.
