What a cute little butterball! Do you know what he is? He’s got some Morgan-y features to me, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen a morgan x so small… he looks like a fun little stinker!

They said Shetland, who knows. He’s TOO fat in that picture. He’s too thin right now. I’ll get him in shape

So, I’m getting this pony. Dad doesn’t think it’s necessary to put hay all the way up in the loft when it’s just a pony and we’ll probably only need 30 bales, so I’m taking some pallets home.

How do you stack hay on pallets? Is it three cut side down and two flat and so on?

Should I put a tarp under them? They’ll be in the bottom of the barn, which is a dirt floor with a couple inches of clean 1" gravel on top.

How many bales do you normally put on a pallet?[/QUOTE]

I bought OSB (plywood) and stacked it on the pallets. Much safer to walk on than a tarp on pallets and provides an effective moisture barrier even if the floor is not bone dry.
