Anna: You are doing the right thing by adding at least one pile more than there are horses. Adding space is also important. The more space the better. Horses tend to be happier if there is space to run in because then they can choose to be either all together or apart. They will choose to be together 99 percent of the time. And as anyone knows doing something by choice will make both humans and horses happier. So if the horses are now confined in a small area - see if you can give them more space. Also put the hay piles as far apart as you can - so far that chasing the others away from theirs becomes too much bother. Anneliese
