The snow has come, and I'm afraid it's here to stay. Since the weather has turned cold, the grass hasn't been growing, so the horses have been enjoying hay. They've started drinking more water since it's gotten colder (I guessing it's because the hay is dry, unlike the grass).
The other "side effect" of feeding the girls hay is that they are RAVENOUS when it's breakfast/dinner time. They're definitely getting enough to eat, but not having access to forage 24/7 means they eat their hay in a couple of hours, and then have to dwell on not having anything to munch on until it's feeding time again. I do have to say, they are thrilled when they see me come out of the barn hauling those bales!
