I have just implemented yet another method to try to get the horses to eat the hay I pay for rather than stomp it, sleep in it or poop in it.  Maybe I am too obsessed, other people don’t seem to be as concerned as I am.

At this blog writing though, I am unemployed so wasting hay is a sensitive topic.  A round bale was delivered less than 3 weeks ago that they stomped into oblivion.  You won’t convince me they ate even half of it.

With the delivery of the round bale today I have added a round bale slow feeder net.  I am going to see if it makes a difference in waste and consumption time.  On a recent trail ride to Tennessee the Hay Chicks were camped nearby.  The campground owner used their brand of round bale slow feeder nets, and thus a discussion followed.  This is my 220th attempt at saving hay, well maybe not really 220, but that blog is for another day.

I will report results when the next round bale is delivered.  Stay tuned, to save hay or not to save hay, that is the question.

Missouri Fox Trotter. I have been riding since I was four years old and my favorite riding spots are out in truly wild areas. Missouri has some of the best trails in the country and the riding and camping here are outstanding. View all posts by Ozark EquiTrekker
