[RC] Hay--How Much to Feed? - Val Nicoson

With a horse with limited turnout recovering from an
injury...and stalled at night...how much hay is
sufficient while being stalled?  She is really good in
the stall BTW.  
Stall time is approx 12 hours (evening to AM)
Hay type is Orchard Grass
I've been giving her 4 flakes which seems to last her
throughout the night.  Sometimes she'll eat it all,
but not always.  
My friend feels I should only give her 2 flakes to see
her thru the night.  I personally don't feel this is
quite enough...too much time with nothing to eat at
all if she goes thru the 2 flakes too quickly.
Opinions sought as to how much I should/shouldn't be
feeding her.
In the AM she does get 2 flakes of hay and her BP mash
before being turned out separately in an approx 35 x
50 foot electric pen in a grassy area.  I move the pen
every 4 days to fresh grass.  
TIA for your opinions...Val + Sania
