[RC] Hay to keep warm - susan cooperI had a discussion with my farrier the other day about feeding extra hay to keep warm at night. If the temps drop below 25*, I will give my horses extra hay before I go to bed at night. Which will keep the horse warmer: alfalfa or grass hay? I said the mere act of eating (grass hay) is what keeps them warm, my farrier said the higher protein in alfalfa will keep them warmer. If I feed the alfalfa at night, I can always give them the grass in the morning. So, at night, which is best for warmth??
