Yesterday I pick up a horse at auction, here in Colorado. He is from Iowa. I nomally just have my horses feeding on hay from around here. My question is, is there anything I should add in for him getting used to my local hay?
What kind of hay are you feeding now? I would maybe stay away from feeding hay with alfalfa (or large amounts) in it. Good grass hay would be the best and just really keep an eye on him.

Yep, what Angel said. Not much you can really do since he's from "out of state" as it where.....LOL
I agree with everyone, go with grass hay, stay away from high protein and rich hays like alfalfa for now since no one knows what he was eating previously.
