We have really heavy three-string bales here. Sometimes the flakes come off light, so you might feed more “flakes” to get the correct weight.
I’ve always supplemented with something like HorseTech vitamins. Once upon a time, I used Grand Vite or a ration balancer, so they technically get all the vitamins/minerals they aren’t getting from the grain.
As a teenager we rode up to the garbage dump and rode our horses onto the built-in truck scale. We just always assumed everyone was delighted to see us!
Yes about weight tapes. My former WB gelding measured 1200 lbs on a weight tape. I weighed him at the vet where they had a scale. He weighed 1450. Pretty big difference.
That’s also very cool!
That’s wild!
My former gelding measured 1150 on the weight tape…and 1357 on an actual scale !
