Hay is For Horses a Variety of Rummaging Solutions

Unless you are living in a place where pastures are pristine all year round without a need to close them during inclement weather, there is a great chance that you feed hay to your horse.

While it is nice to gain access to lush and green pastures throughout the year, feeding hay to your horse is almost as good as feeding them grass or sometimes, it can even be better. Feeding hay is convenient and can help your horse in maintaining a healthier digestive system, keeping him occupied and happy if he needs to stay inside the stall.

But, just like the difference between a leaf of kale and iceberg lettuce, the nutritional value of hay varies a lot depending on what you are feeding.

It is important to consider various factors when evaluating the needs of your horse like body weight and type, breed, workload, metabolism, and age. Most homeowners may decide that the combination of grass hay and legume is the best option for their horse.
