If it's grass hay they can eat as much as they want.
I don't know if this helps but I read somewhere that wild horses graze for up to 18 hours a day.
A mini can eat 1 to 2 flakes of hay a day and doesn't need grain. It depends on how much pasture you have and how much hay costs where you live.
when you buy a hay bale, give the horse 4 flakes per day. i don't know that 2.2 lbs of hay per 100 lbs of body weight though... that would mean it gets 1980 lbs of hay a day and that is definitely wrong!
Clydesdales eat all kinds of things like apples, carrots, sugar, oats, grass, hay, cod liver oil, and alot of other stuff.
i do 1 to 2 flacks a day, one in the morning and the evening that way it can digest. if your horse is already over weight and gets pregnant don't feed her any. and if your horse is a mini don't feed her any.
the same as other horses
It depends on the horse. Ask your vet to see what's right for your horse(s).
Yes, hay is a staple of the domesticated horse's diet. Fed only on high quality hay, an average horse might eat about 50 pounds of hay per day.
How much a horse eats in a day depends on the horse and its work load. Some horse that are doing no work or are just obese can survive on just pasture. Other eat 15-30lbs of hay and grain per day. It all depends on the condition of the horse and it's use.
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. : )
No second cut hay often has more nutrients in it than first cut hay. But if the horse is overweight or not working much then first cut hay would be better if the horse will eat it.
Here's the formula: (weight)/100 * 2.2 = pounds of hay per day your answer is 19.8, but that number is only a starting point. your horse may eat more or less in a day, and may need to be restricted because of obesity. free choice hay is best, but be mindful of the wasted hay.
A mini can eat 1 to 2 flakes of hay a day and doesn't need grain. It depends on how much pasture you have and how much hay costs where you live.
Not much. Horse hay is mostly green hay that comprises of 95 to 100% grass. Cow hay, on the other hand, can be as green and grassy as horse hay, but can also be hay that is much higher in legume content (often up to 90%) than horse hay.
Hay day is an old saying that means an easy day, plenty of play. It was said that a horse would rather eat hay than graze all day for the same amount of feed.
