What happens if horses don't have grass or hay during winter?
This depends on what else the horse may be getting to eat. If the horse is on a complete feed it will probably be OK, but it is always best to provide hay or grass whenever you can as this is what horses evolved to eat. If hay is scarce or just not available look into possibly feeding oat straw in small amounts daily. You could also try to find hay cubes or hay pellets. It should be noted that hay or grass is what enables a horse to maintain it's body heat in the winter through digestion of the long stemmed fiber in the hay and grass. Without these things the horse may need to be blanketed or even brought inside, particularly if it does not grow a very thick winter coat.

How much feed and hay do you feed a Tennessee walking horse daily?
It depends on the amount of work he is doing. He will need at least 1.5- 2 % of his body weight in quality hay or pasture, though. As for grains and supplements... A horse in no work or light work will need little to no grain. My walker eats 2lbs of a low calorie complete feed to make sure he gets all of his vitamins and minerals, but he doesn't do hard work. The more intense the work your horse is engaged in the more calories he will need to consume. Always keep as many of these calories as you can in forage and not grains and supplements. Also, walkers eat just like any other horse.
