As mentioned, if you are bringing horses then you will want enough hay for the trip as well as about a months supply while your switching over to the bales out here.

If you don’t have any horses, then don’t worry and just use what we have out here. A lot of stables are into using cubes or chaff so if yo like those feed options then be careful about the cubes, they can sometimes have rocks. I always feed my own hay, and I get a discount on board since I do provide my own food.

I usually do a blend of alfalfa and grass hays. Like grass in morning and night and alfalfa for lunch. It also depends on the horse and what they are doing and if they tend to be hotter or calmer.

I know just about every place to buy tack, feed, supplies, and anything horse related in orange county. If you need any listings feel free to ask.

As for hay, stick with "1st Cutting" (a mix of grassy, early-season cut timothy grasses) for general feeding. The amount will depend on how much pasture your horse gets, consult your vet if you are not sure.

In fall and winter, we also supplement with "2nd cut", a richer, nutrient fortified mix including alphalfa. This hay is great when they dont get alot of quality pasture. It may be too rich for some horses. We ussually only feed 1-2 flakes/day per horse (about 1/2 of the total hay they get).

Make sure your horses also get a good grain ration, and possible supplements if they need it. Hay is not enough.

If you have horses who are picky about hay, you can also look into Hay Stretcher or Alphalfa cubes (pelleted/cubed hay) from your local feed store. This is great, especially in winter! It can replace up to 1/2 the forage the horse normally would get.

Hope that helps a little!

If you are going to change feeds purchase the feed that your horse is currently on and slowly convert them over a period of time…

Research what hay/feeds are available in your area, and purchase as much clean hay as you can reasonably store for the season for your horses. This will make certain that you will not be changing their feeds each time you run out.

Speak with the vets in your area, (or your vet?) and ask about the feeds in the area. They will be able to tell you if they have come across any problems with any types of hay.

You haven’t stated what type of horse(s) you are getting…but certain breeds of horses are prone to enterolyths – and it has been shown to have a direct relationship to being fed an all alfalfa diet…(another reason to speak to your vet)…

Horse ownership is FULL of research items…and keeping them at home, involves even more. You might find the book by Cherry Hill "Horsekeeping on a Small Acreage" very helpful.

Good Luck!

I personally would put them on some type of grass hay that is found locally in the area you are moving to. Talk to the locals and see what hay they feed and recommend. I would also put them on a ration balancer to make sure they have all their nutrients.

I think you might be a little shocked at the price of hay down south. Good timothy last winter was 32.50 for a 110lb bale, which came to almost $600/ton. You may not need to feed timothy, however. As for grain, there are several local manufacturers. You can just look around and make your decision, of course bringing your current grain with you, if you feed grain, and switching gradually. Again, I apologize if you already know to do that, and I"m just telling you something you already know. You’d be surprised how many people I run into who’ve had horses for years DON’T know that.
