Even though I only have 2 horses it still takes a lot of hay to get us throught the winter. I have a hay loft, but I have to haul it up a ladder by hand. As you can imagine, it takes a long time as well as effort. Any suggestions would be appericated greatly.

Well here are three ways:

First get some young workers and have them pull up the truck or trailer to the loft and thorw the hay into the loft. If you don't have enough access for easy access create an second level entry.

Of course you would also buy the expensive hay escaltor.

Also you may devise some sort of pulley system. Take a piece of plywood and insert for loops, one on each cornter. Then attach a pulley (or a pulley system) to the roof of your barn Then either pull the hay up from the ground using the connected rope, or pull the hay up from the loft using the rope. Again more than o ne person will help.
