That is just what I did this past weekend at Spook Run.  Got up around 2am and fed.

However,  it isn't ALL that quiet.  When you feed beetbulp and have to soak it, then

I have to get out the little Coleman hot water maker to get the hot water on the beet

pulp....wait a little bit and then give it to them.  True, you could soak it while your

sleeping, but then it won't be all nice and hot when you feed it.  Even if you set in

in the trailer to stay warm.   My ponies like their "hot" beet pulp.....spoiled brats.

But you can do this as silently as possible.
