Question: how many bales of hay does a horse eat per month?
Answer: For example, a 1,000 pound horse fed a 100% hay diet would consume 25 pounds of hay each day. From October 15 to May 15 (when there is no pasture in MN), the horse would consume about 5,350 pounds of hay or 2.7 tons. This would equal 107 fifty pound small square‐bales or six 900 pound round‐bales during this time.
