if a horse is stalled all day accept when they are ridden and for about 3 hrs a day to pasture how much hay should they be fed?..just curious..our University only lets you turn your horse out a little and I was wondering for when I go to college..thanks!

You would usually expect to feed about 2% of your horse's body weight. You really should weigh your hay, but if you can't, it amounts to at least 1/2 bale of hay a day…(I'm referring to grass hay) I usually try to keep hay in front of all horses that are stalled, that way they don't get so bored and acquire the stall vices that we've all seen.
