Spikes & Houles can provide strategies to help supplement your hay during shortages. When it comes to hay, a pound is a pound regardless of the source. You can feed your horse hay in the form of hay cubes, hay pellets, or chopped hay.

Feeding a horse with no teeth can be a challenge, but it is possible with proper care and consideration of the horse's condition. Horses with no teeth or severe dental issues may have difficulty chewing and processing food effectively, making it essential to provide them with a diet that is easy to consume and digest.

During the winter months it is very important to make sure your horses are getting the proper amount of nutrition each day to maintain a healthy weight.
