Horse owners are all different

First off I am a long ways from being an Expert regarding Horse Owners, & Their feeding habits.

 

 

I have been in the Creech KY Hay Warehouse.  They cater to the different Horse Farm Ways.

If a stable has a driving desire for something exotic, Creech  will get it for them.

I will say, Most Breeding Farms have very conventional ideas.

Usually their animals spend their nights in a stall in a really nice barn.  In the barn stall there is a  touch of alfalfa. 

 

Some have an idea that a Ohio Wheat Straw is the perfect bedding material.

Though at least one will use a clean grass hay for a bedding material. Every Morning the owner or Manager walks the isles and if any horses are not nibbling on their bedding material, that hay is pulled and replaced with fresh hay.  This soiled, & picked over bedding is then fed to their cattle.

 

During the day these horses are in paddocks. Maybe 5 mares to a paddock, but just one stud to his own paddock. each paddock has one or more stocker cattle who clean up the grass the horses leave untouched.

Creech makes it coming and going.  He will haul off the ruined straw bedding for the Stables.
Bales this straw in a large industrial baler and ships this straw to the  Pennsylvania Mushroom Growers.
I suspect any of us would be happy to subsist on his straw disposal income.

I used to know a now retired Idaho Alfalfa Grower who had more ground in pivot tracks than I have in my whole farm. 

 

 

My farm is on the line between the Arid West and the Humid East. 
We should be irrigated, but we do not have the water.
