how much horse eats day
The average 1000 pound horse must eat approximately 10 to 20 pounds of hay every day according to LSU. The weight of a bale of hay will vary depending on the quality of hay and the settings on the baling machine that is being used to bale the hay. The average square hay bale weighs approximately 50 pounds. To provide your horse with the necessary amount of hay you will need to give him a quarter to a half of a bale every day.
