HAY: There's lots of different kinds of
hay.
- Alfalfa: a "high energy" type of hay. Kind of like a
horsey Power Bar.
- Timothy-- more like equine pasta.
T gets Timothy because, like, who needs to be feeding a horse Power Bars
if he's cooped up in his stall.
Serving Size: Hay peels off the bales in sections called
"flakes." T eats about 1 flake an hour, so I "hay" him three to four
times per day. Basically, horses can eat as much hay as they want and it's still cool.

GRAIN: Caution:
Too much can give horses colic (this really bad stomachache that can kill them.) See,
horses in the wild never, like, ate any grain (duh), so their stomachs aren't really
evolved to deal with it.
Serving Size: 2 one-pound coffee cans crimped oats two times per
day. Later, when T's out & about, he'll get more. I feed T "crimped" oats.
Note: Check and make sure T eats all of his oats, because if he
doesnt, he might be sick. |
