My ponies are getting so fat! I must cut down on the amount of hay I'm feeding. I usually feed about 45 pounds per day for the two of them, so I think I'll cut that down to 40 and then see if I can cut anymore. I probably can...they are little pork chops! :D

I highly recommend weighing hay. I know that this is not always possible in a big barn with a lot of horses, but since it's just my two ponies, I find that it helps me manage their diets so much more consistently.

It's tough because my former rescue pony gets worried when there's less hay, and she'll start beating up on the other one, but she is no longer a rescue, and she is plenty chunky, and without much exercise (24/7 turnout but no riding due to snow and ice!), she needs to eat less!

Tomorrow I will start feeding less hay...YES, I WILL!
