Feeding hay by the flake is a very flawed method and usually results in the horse getting too much or too little forage. You should always feed a horse based on weight. A horse needs 1 to 3% of it's body-weight in food daily, hay should make up from 100% to at the very least 60% of the diet.

How many hay bails does a horse eat in a month?
There is no set number of bails per month that a "horse" will eat. Each bail of hay varies in the number of flakes it has in it (between 12 and 15 flakes) and an average sized horse (1,000 lbs) generally consumes 3-4 flakes per day if they are not also on pasture or other sources of feed. Ponies may consume less and draft horses may consume more... horses should be fed based on their weight as a rule. The real question is "how many pounds of hay should they eat?" Bales can vary from 30 to 150 lbs. You need to weigh them. Most 1000 pound horses should be given about 15 to 20 pounds of grass hay a day, if this is their only source of roughage (as with stalled horses). So with a "normal" 50 pound bale, that just under half a bale. You must also make a distinction between how much they SHOULD eat and how much they WILL eat. Many would eat almost a bale a day if you let them. What they do, when over fed, is pick out the best bits and trash the rest.

How many flakes a day do you feed a 15 hand horse with 4 qt of grain?
Feeding by a flake and quart or scoop method is very incorrect and can cause weight and health problems in horses. A horse should be fed based on it's body weight, typically 1.5% to 3% of it's bodyweight. The horses height really plays no part in assessing the amount of food the horse needs. As an example a 1000 pound horse would need 15 to 30 pounds of food a day (1.5% to 3%). The majority of it should be forage such as hay or grass and if the horse needs the extra calories, then a grain or pelleted feed can be added.
