Sometimes they share and sometimes there is injury running off someone who needs the feed themselves and stands thier ground- to keep it.<br /><br />Thistles...well, my mare delicately will eat the tops off..sometimes go for more after those are gone...it is super cute to watch.KKhttp://allhorsestuffblogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8209475776802800748.post-81337914965673954542011-06-24T13:04:39.287-07:002011-06-24T13:04:39.287-07:00We are having the same problem.

As we've had so little rain, the grass isn't growing much in the horse's field, but then it does rain just when we want to cut the hay in the next field. As soon as it's cut the horses can go on it, but we are putting a bale of hay out for them every day. It's difficult with a skinny TB we are trying to keep weight on, and a cob that we are tryingn to keep weight off. You can't win, can you?Autumn Misthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13970884029498352422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8209475776802800748.post-70748507122468530062011-06-23T18:57:00.193-07:002011-06-23T18:57:00.193-07:00Our horses get a little hay too.

We supplement with a little grain in the mornings and evenings. That might help a little with the weight issue.Debihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03580566645138790920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8209475776802800748.post-69093295349139505962011-06-23T16:48:40.301-07:002011-06-23T16:48:40.301-07:00I am happy that Murphy found the hay to be up to h...I am happy that Murphy found the hay to be up to his satifaction. I'm sure they will get the weight back on in no time. I love that photo of the dark skies, very interesting.

I also think it is easier to manage their weight with haylage. We have had to put some of the ponies in starvation paddocks as they have laminitis. And Spotty is getting a bit fat too so he needs an eye keeping on him.<br />That dark cloud looked like it was full of rain!<br />AbbyRDA Pony Taleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03863790978890974507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8209475776802800748.post-90956462016043262592011-06-23T14:24:34.890-07:002011-06-23T14:24:34.890-07:00I have a feeling that Murphy may know when the hay...I have a feeling that Murphy may know when the haylage is not quite up to par...maybe it looks alright to us humans but Murphy can tell if it is a bit 'off' with his fine mouth.Sherri B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03956294100834139745noreply@blogger.com
