Looking for opinions on round bales. Due to poor quality of local hay this year (weather conditions created dusty hay) we have purchased several round bales to try out. When I inquired to several people on how they liked the round bales my main concern was a Fjord with hay in front of them all the time could get really huge. All replied that once used to the fact that they would have free choice that horses will pace themselves. Of course I replied "You don't know Fjords, do you?" Anyway eat eat eat seems to be all they do. They are on their second bale and I am still waiting for them to pace themselves. I continue with a small amount of grain each evening so they get their Vit E and Selenium but don't know how long I should give them to figure this new schedule out. I really do not want them getting fat. I was so proud, and so was my vet last spring when they looked great. By the way right now we only have two Fjords. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks Jennifer and Michael Johansson
