roly poly pony revisited
This message is from: Moira Sambey Hi Robyn I agree with Marsha Jo, hay needs to be weighed as flakes vary tremendously in weight. You can get a Newton scale in the fishing section of Walmart etc. I put my hay in a heavy duty black plastic garbage bag, spin it to twist the top and hang it on the scale. Also like Marsha Jo, I feed 1% of body weight split into 2 feeds. This works out to 6lbs of hay each feed. He also gets 3-4 hours of pasture a day. If for some reason I can't turn him out, he gets another 6lbs hay instead of the pasture. I wouldn't put your mare in with the round bale where the geldings are, sad to say, the risks of overeating are not worth it. >From wet west coast Canada.

This message is from: Moira Sambey Debbie The Barefoot treeless won't slip if your horse bucks. They tighten up just fine. (I can't vouch for other brands though). I have the English girth system on mine along with the 'physio' saddle pad. Sticks great to the horse! Re. slippage, I think there is a rider weight restriction though, best to check out with the company, Barefoot has a website. I love the Barefoot treeless as they fit ANY size or shape of horse, even the same Fjord if slimmer/fatter.

saddle options
This message is from: Moira Sambey Robyn, I also have a Barefoot treeless (Cheyenne) for my guy. I absolutely love it, I've had it almost 3 years now. I'm a trailrider exclusively, it's so comfy for a long trailride and my horse moves so freely under it.
