Re: [RC] Hay to keep warm - geckogal85@xxxxxxxxx

This got me thinking. I always get cold after I eat. Sometimes to the point of shivering. Even in summer. Does anyone know why??

I had a discussion with my farrier the other day about
feeding extra hay to keep warm at night. If the temps
drop below 25*, I will give my horses extra hay before
I go to bed at night. Which will keep the horse
warmer: alfalfa or grass hay? I said the mere act of
eating (grass hay) is what keeps them warm, my farrier
said the higher protein in alfalfa will keep them
warmer. If I feed the alfalfa at night, I can always
give them the grass in the morning. So, at night,
which is best for warmth??
