I weigh all my hay, guessing weight is not one of my talents. My fjords mare, Anniken, who is worked 3-4 times a week, gets 1lb of alfalfa and 10lbs of grass hay, plus 2 cups of crimped oats with her supplements. My gelding, Paul, who gets less work, as he is still young, get no alfalfa and 9lbs of grass hay plus 2 cups of oats and supplements. They get 1 hour a day on pasture this time of year, but how long that will continue depends on our rainfall. I do feed a little more grass hay when the temperature gets below 20 degrees in the winter or if Anniken has been working particularly hard, but all in all they both keep their weight pretty level on the feed I am giving them. The weather here, while still getting down below freezing at night, is in the 70s during the day so I am off to drive my fjord. Have a great day!
