As you can tell, I have too much
time.... will try and go away for awhile after this, maybe,,,,,( I am checking
out new horse(s), after losing one, I thought was pretty 'Special')
About T Shirts, love idea about
horse with bridle in mouth and saddle on floor, asking - "When do we go riding?"
" Can we go Now ! ?"
and on back have 'sayings' like ....
You may be a ridecamp member when ..... >like t-shirt done, several years
ago, that ... 'You may be an Endurance rider when' ....?? one was .. gas
company exec shows up on your doorstep and kisses you for all the $$$ you
spend in gas, ( well, was close to that) Some may remember //..... You remember
horse feed, but not people food. You take vacations - based on ride schedule,
not family reunions. Ect. Just a thought, and do have these available for
purchase, other than at convention, doubt, I take vac. time to go out
West( unless, was in Reno, or LV; when thinking about starting to
compete again. Need that vacation time for
rides.
About post - hay to feed ..
'rule of thumb', horse will / can / should eat about 2
-3% of body weight a day/ ( dry wt. matter ), a flake or two a
day, is only couple Lbs at most, unless, you have really heavy flakes !!?
I give hay free - choice, ok, put out about 10 - 15 lbs per horse
probably, depending on weather, cold weather more, divided feedings, and they
get grain 2X day, about 3 - 4 lbs each. If they waste some hay, so...
keeps them 'happy', do not chew objects, and I know they have as much as
recommended /needed. Stephanie M
