If this hay wouldn't be good for my laminitic pony I have other horses I can feed it to. It's hard to find low sugar hay in my area though!

Taking hay sample without a hay probe?
What's the best way to take a hay sample without a hay probe? I'd rather not have to completely cut open the bales to do it. Just wondering what other people have done?

Stopping hoof boots from smelling?
I've been using Easyboot clouds since the end of Dec, and they're starting to smell. We've had practically non-stop rain for the last 2 weeks, so that isn't helping (pony has access to paddock 24/7).

"Mad Barn" supplements - ok?
I was able to find somewhere to get the Ontario Dehy timothy balance cubes! So even though this product also includes some beet pulp, it doesn't need to be rinsed?

What temp do you blanket at?
