    Nor would I, but it is a good reminder that one doesn't simply throw a
    single big bale into a group of horses that are really hungry and that don't
    have a smooth pecking order established.  When we feed large numbers of
    horses with big bales, we put them in multiple locations to avoid any
    friction.
