i wouldnt pay much attention to her videos. You need ot find a type of hay your horse likes, and the nutritional value differs, and 9 flake sa day IS a lot fo hay, things like corn or oats can give a slow or lazy horse more energy, and youll need grain as well, it all depends on your horse and his weight.
HAHA WRONG!!!
Hey thats a good idea, just throw the hay on the ground and your horse might eat a whole shit load of dirt, get colic, die and then you wouldn’t have to feed it anymore! Why didn’t I think of that?
It’s called put it in a hay net or an grassy ground or in a bucket for fuck sake!
Kelly IS an expert on feed….Can’t you tell?
Seriously though…You feed a horse 2 times a day, 3 flakes per feeding. What about my 500lbs yearling? Or what about a 1600lb Belgian?
Mayby someone could post the exact percentages on how much hay to feed (based on a genealiation on an average hay quality). I thought it was 1 flake per 300lbs per feeding, when feeding twice a day – but I’m not 100% on that.
Anyone?
Do you think she goes to the hair stylist everytime before she goes to the barn?
looks like it. who goes to the barn looking like that? pftt.
i know right!
yes you can feed your horse apples,carrots,sugar cubes,(as treats only)
Feeding a horse by the flake is not the best way. Every flake weighs differently and the density can vary depending on what type of hay you are feeding. You feed a horse 1-2% of their weight in lbs.
1% for an inactive or overweight horse to 2% for a very active horse.
So how do you figure how much your horse needs?
weight x % = lbs per day.
Example: My horse is 1000 lb.
1000 x 1% = 10lb of hay per day.
I use a fish scale to weigh the hay after it is put in a hay bag.
i know it depends on what horse u have before you can even decide what to feed it what if a certain horse cant have a certain foods
i know i always look ugly when i go to the barn! but she’s on a tv show thing, so she probably wants to look nice.
fuck sake-lol!
i know my 10 year old cousin thinks she knows it all and says, “let’s put the hay on the ground in front of him so he’ll eat it” and then she throws some on the ground and the horse walks away!
Yeah true, but i wouldn’t have really commented on her attire had her “horse expert” advice been actually worth listening to lol.
yea true
OMG, LOL!!! Sometimes people, especially very young children, think they know everything and make foolish mistakes but they grow out of it. I know I did!
Feeding on the ground is the most natural thing for a horse and it’s highly recommended over feeding from a hay net or any other chest or head high holder.
yeah I understand that but she could have put the hay on grass or in a round tyre feeder or something so the horse didn’t consume so much dirt or sawdust shavings.
I always feed my horses on a black rubber stall mat and sweep in of every morning, I hate nets and baskets my horses always rip the hay out and they seem mad:-)lol
Good point..I feed my pony (14.2hh) hay on the ground of her stall…but I’m always worried she will get sick one day from also eating the sawdust that the hay is on. I guess I should buy something to keep it in so she can still eat naturally from the ground but keep the sawdust out.
The only time feeding on the ground becomes a problem is if the area is wet, or is had alot of sandy soil. Sandy soil can cause sand colic (caused by a large impaction of sand). In a stall, there isn’t much to worry about. Just sweep a small area clear of bedding, and put some hay down. If your horse breathes in some dust, it’ll just drain out. and You’re horse won’t colic from little specks of dust (there’ some dust in hay naturally!).
i understand feeding on the ground ect as it is natural, but i always try not too as they build a muscle under the neck (you dont want it) .. meaning when ridden the muscle under the neck makes it harder for them and you to achieve an outline.
how about if a person is feeding the horses from a round bail feeder but on a sandy ground? would that be ok? Or would they be getting a chance of digesting too much sand and get a chance of getting that sand colic? Please help!
ground feeding is best, it might build unwanted muscle, and not give ‘proper outline’ but whats that compared to a healthy horse who doesnt have problems breathing or get eye infections from all the dust and seeds that can fall from hay in a net??
jesus saves
would i feed my horse this amount if i din’t use grain ?
cause my horses when i get them are gonna be pasture fed
