A typical horse may consume 20 or more pounds of roughage per day. While some horses can meet this requirement in the pasture, most horses need supplemental hay, especially when stabled or during the winter. Therefore, it is wise to take some time to consider the types and quality of hay that would be best suited to your horse.
