My husband and I have been in the hay field all week. We have some great stuff that I want to feed but I’ve heard a lot of people say you shouldn’t feed fresh bailed hay right away. I’ve had horses for 20 yrs but I’ve never faced this dilemma because I’ve always had plenty from the previous year. This year we ran short so I’m buying some from a friend. How long do you think I should wait until I can feed this cut of hay.

The buttercups our taking over our hay and grazing fields. I know horses will avoid them in small amounts, but i am worried about the horses getting sick and the hay having buttercups in them. I have hear that poison like round-up works well, but i am hesitant to do that unless there is no other way. There are too many of them to weed. Any suggestions?
My 3 1/2 year old filly gets fed hay 2-3 times a day. But we are trying to work on putting her on a diet because she is FAT. She is around 15hh I would guess and I would like to know how much hay she should be getting a day. (She gets some in run-in stall and some spread out in her pasture to encourage her to graze rather than stan around in one spot all day.) Thanks so much in advance!
I’m a beginner rider in english and an intermediate in western. i’m looking for a horse that is atleast 15hh and can jump. I would like to show, but all the horses I can find are either green or can’t jump. I would prefer to adopt, but if necessary, I would buy. Does anyone have any websites or anything?
