That depends on the weight of the bales, the weight of the horse, the current body condition of the horse, the use of the horse and whether or not the horse has another source of forage such as pasture along with hay. Horses require 1.5%-3% of their body weight in forage per day. For a 1000lb horse that is 15 lbs of hay or grass at least per day. If the horse is working hard or needs to gain weight, then the amount of forage required per day increases.

∙ 12y agoA horse should be fed anywhere from 1.5-2.5% of their own body weight, with 2% the usual. So to find this number you'll need you horses weight then divide that by 100, take that number and multiply it by 2, this will give you the pounds of food the horse needs. So say you have a 1,000 pound horse that would be 10 x 2=20 pounds. Now most people feed some sort of grain or pellets even if the horse doesn't need them. Figure out how many pounds of that you're feeding and then the remainder should be hay.

∙ 13y agoIf the horse is of average size one whole bale at one time would be considered overeating.

How many hay bails does a horse eat in a month?
There is no set number of bails per month that a "horse" will eat. Each bail of hay varies in the number of flakes it has in it (between 12 and 15 flakes) and an average sized horse (1,000 lbs) generally consumes 3-4 flakes per day if they are not also on pasture or other sources of feed. Ponies may consume less and draft horses may consume more... horses should be fed based on their weight as a rule. The real question is "how many pounds of hay should they eat?" Bales can vary from 30 to 150 lbs. You need to weigh them. Most 1000 pound horses should be given about 15 to 20 pounds of grass hay a day, if this is their only source of roughage (as with stalled horses). So with a "normal" 50 pound bale, that just under half a bale. You must also make a distinction between how much they SHOULD eat and how much they WILL eat. Many would eat almost a bale a day if you let them. What they do, when over fed, is pick out the best bits and trash the rest.
