Do you know the basics when it comes to hay? 🌾 You can find some good information about hay quality and horse nutrition on the American Association of Equine Practitioners website at: https://aaep.org/horsehealth/hay-quality-and-horse-nutrition-evaluating-your-horses-nutritional-needs?utm_campaign=coschedule&utm_source=facebook_page&utm_medium=American+Association+of+Equine+Practitioners

And while you are looking into purchasing hay for the colder months, don't forget to take a good look at your summer forage. If the pasture is poor quality or overgrazed, and the horses don’t appear to be thriving even with free access to grass, you probably need to plan for some hay supplementation even during the summer. If you have questions or are unsure, consult our doctors at Leatherstocking Veterinary Services!
