Yes it is, my horses lay on their hay even when its not intended, but hay is expensive try straw instead. And if you have no other option just make sure to check them often chances are they will eat the hay

Is Jig Hay OK to feed a horse?

Jig Hay is not recommended as a primary forage for horses due to its low nutritional value and potential for causing digestive upset. It is usually used as a bedding material or for erosion control in pastures rather than being fed directly to horses. It's best to provide high-quality hay or pasture for your horse's nutritional needs.


A horse is tied to a 15 foot rope and there is a bail of hay 25 feet away from him.Yet the horse is able to eat from the bail of hay.How is this possible?

Obviously the horse's back leg is tied up and at a stretch the horse can reach the other 10 feet to eat the hay with its mouth. Alternately, did the horse disconnect the rope? Ok, probably not.

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.

Can you only feed your horses hay?

Horses with a light to medium workload will be fine on (and are actually better off with) only a grass/grass hay diet with a mineral block and fresh water. Make sure it is good quality grass hay. Do not feed much, if any, alfalfa; it is really rich and grass hay would be better. A few treats are ok too. Apples, carrots, sugar cubes, horse treats, are all fine in moderation. Grain is a common food for horses, but is not really necessary unless the horse is in a heavy workload and can do more harm than good for horses on a light to medium workload. you do not have to feed your horse only hay you could feed your horse speedybeat mix and you could also feed them a kind of barley and mints.


Is horses poo ok with hay?

Horse manure mixed with hay can make a good compost for plants due to its nutrient content. However, fresh horse manure should be composted before using to avoid burning plants with excess nitrogen. It's important to properly compost the mixture to allow it to break down and become a beneficial soil amendment.
