Good horse hay will be green and smell fresh or sweet. It shouldn't be dusty or have a lot of debris in it. Typically a bale will feel 'light' for it's weight and if dropped on end it should bounce. The overall color and amount of leaves to stems ratio will vary according to which cutting it is and how long ago it was cut. If it was stored outside it may appear yellowish or brown, but should still be green inside.

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.
