So where I board my horse, they are literally down to a bale of hay left. That gives them one day to find more hay. They were thinking of calling over to the farm where I work and getting a large square bale because all of our hay suppliers are completely out. The only problem is, the bale would be cow hay. Having worked on a farm for years, I know there is a big difference between cow hay and horse hay. Since it is a lot woodier and twig-ish I don't think they would even be interested in it. And I'm not sure, but isn't the nutritional value way different? I'm also worried that if they do get this hay, their horse will eat it and mine won't because my mare is super picky. And if this does happen, I am worried they won't do anything about it and she will starve herself. She is 20 years old so she needs those nutrients.
Opinions? Thanks!
