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.

Blake's horse eats about 3 bales of hay evary 6 days.About how many bales of hay does his horse eat in 32 days?

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. : )

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.


How many bales of hay does an adult horse eat?

An adult horse typically consumes about 1.5% to 2.5% of its body weight in forage daily, which translates to roughly 15 to 25 pounds of hay for an average-sized horse.
