Best Answer

Yes, you can feed a horse wet hay as long as the hay is completely free of mold and/or maggots. Feeding a horse moldy hay can cause colic, and be fatal. Make sure all hay left out is covered with a tarp, and even check that hay.

Is one bail of hay good enough for a horse during the winter?

One bail of hay is not good enough for a horse for the winter. A horse should have a lot more feed than that. Depending on what kind of hay the bail is made out of, because there are a lot of different types of hay that have different nutrient values. If you feed grass hay (a popular kind) one horse can be fed a ration of hay twice a day (or once a day twice being the better choice) until the bail is used up. One bail can last between 3to7 days depending on the size of the bale. For a whole winter, a horse can go through almost a ton of hay. This is if the hay is the only feed a horse gets and is not able to graze on any grass or pasture. The amount of hay fed will be less if there is fair pasture available.
