Thanks.</P><P>Megan and MayaSun, 05 Oct 2008 09:42:14 GMThorzlover1993http://board.youngrider.com/Topic867713-15-1.aspxYup, get some hay in there. She's hungry, obviously! Horses are meant to be eating for a good portion of the day.</P><P>And unless the panels are big enough that she can get her head out no matter what, move her to a better place.Sat, 04 Oct 2008 16:25:05 GMTSavvy_Riderhttp://board.youngrider.com/Topic867713-15-1.aspx<STRONG><EM>*This is Aurora*</EM></STRONG></P><P>Horses are grazing animals, which means <STRONG>they should have either hay or grass to eat at least</STRONG> <STRONG>8-10hrs a day, not 5</STRONG>. How often do you feed? You really shoud feed <EM>at least </EM>a flake of grass hay 3 times a day, 4 times is best to make sure they are happy. Try getting her a Jolly Ball or Likit to keep her occupied, and make sure she has grass hay as often as possible.Sat, 04 Oct 2008 15:34:35 GMTequiinehttp://board.youngrider.com/Topic867713-15-1.aspxWell first off, a horse shouldn't live in a place where it's surrounded by pannels. A head can get caught really bad in there. And most pasture horses should eat about 12-15 hours a day. Just use some safe fencing and you shouldn't have to worry about anything.Sat, 04 Oct 2008 14:24:59 GMTAQHYA_WP_girlhttp://board.youngrider.com/Topic867713-15-1.aspxDoes she have a companion?<BR>try a jolly ballSat, 04 Oct 2008 14:14:56 GMThorsegirl193http://board.youngrider.com/Topic867713-15-1.aspxMy horse Maya is grass crazy. I mean really grass crazy. About four times now she has stuck her head through the round pen panels to get to the grass. She gets her head stuck and freaks out even though she eats grass for a bout five hours a day. We now have tied electric wiring between the top part but then she decide to stick her head thru the second one. Does any one have any suggestion on keeping her busy while im not home.<P>Thanks</P><P>Megan and MayaSat, 04 Oct 2008 13:35:58 GMThorzlover1993
