Is first cut hay better than second cut for horse?
Yes as the quality is better and horses are fussy about what they eat. 2) First of all there is no "correct" answer; the qualilty of any hay depends on many factors: weather, drying conditions, and at what point in the life cycle the grasses are cut, to name a few.

They like the second cut better, much better, but the first cut has more body and fills their stomachs up quicker.
