I put on my Christmas want list the Dover hay nets with the small openings.
I've been using them for several days now and they are great. Really slow the

Mine are doing good around the barn and one turnout left open they have access
to. We've kept it mowed. I feed them their mineral/vitamin supplement in the
morning, no hay, they just go out. If its cold, I'll take some chopped
forage, mix a few handfuls with fair

I bought the Taylor Precision 30504106T Industrial Hanging Scale from

You can get a fish scale from any sporting goods place (Walmart works). They
range from the simple spring operated one to fancy electronic ones. I've had
both. The electronic one didn't hold up well in an unheated barn through
Colorado winters. I still have t

I haven't used Bluegrass straw. I do use reed canary and that works well for
the munch factor without having much food value. In fact when I firs got my

Eileen,
We have fed it all this last winter with a little alfalfa thrown in. We have
now stopped the alfalfa but still feed the bluegrass straw. Our horses love
it! What we have is really soft, small stemmed hay. The horses held their
condition great

OK, I don't recall seeing anyone post this question...
Has anyone on the list fed out bluegrass straw? I'm wondering where to
get it, and if I can feed it just like hay? I'm looking for a really
low-cal hay substitute to fill my mare up.

I've got a question about feeding fjords, particularly pregnant
mares. I've been feeding other boodmares for years, but not these fuzzy
