help! feed everywhere

[SPUDSRIDR@aol.com]

I should have been more clear.  My feeder with the rock in it ARE on the 
floor.  I could not agree more that the best way to feed a horse is on the 
ground.  My feeders (for grain) are flat pans which sit on the floor.  For 
the hay - I find that if I keep putting the hay in relatively the same spot 
every day it forms it's own "bed" to lie on.  Here in NE Ohio we get our 
share of mud, everytime the temp rises above freezing all the snow and ice 
gets mucky.  It's plenty muddy around the hay - but they waste no more 
outside than they do inside.  Since I have done all my feeding from the 
ground I don't have to have their teeth floated as often - they definately 
wear more evenly.
