[RC] Oat hay, is this okay? - Tx Trigger

Oat, barley, and other "grain hays" are very popular out west. We rarely see it here in Texas unless imported from other regions. I think an oat timothy would be an excellent mix. Some horses love the oat hay, others will get the "good parts" and leave the bigger stalks. I think it depends on when it was cut. I had someone try to tell me oat hay did not exist, and that was straw. <grin> Nope, two different beasts.  Maybe you can try one bale, see if they like it before buying a large amount. On the other hand, if hay is gonna be short in your area, might grab what you can.
