What do you consider a typical flake of hay? 3" - 4" - 6" and with no grass to eat how much should a portly l200 lb Fjord gelding be eating. I am trying to get some weight off and he is loosing the "stuffed" look but I am thinking it will be several months before I see a major weight reduction? Also, should he be fed two or three times a day - HE JUST LOVES TO EAT and I wonder if going all day with nothing to chew on would be frustrating for him - to add further insult he has to watch my QH munch on his hay very slowly - I am always trying to put weight on him. Great pair - huh?? I am new to self caring for my horses having been at boarding facilities for the past 5 years (my Fjord is a new purchase). Weight seems to be a big issue with Fjords so it is important to have good information to keep them fit and healthy. Thank you for you wonderful help and comments on so many subjects!!!
