How often is your horse fed hay? We posed this question to our readers in last week’s online poll. More than 2,000 people responded, and we’ve tallied the results! 

Of the 2,049 respondents, 698 (34%) said their horse is fed hay twice per day, while 573 (28%) said their horse is free fed and has continual access to hay. Another 334 people (16%) feed their horse hay three times per day, and 252 (12%) feed their horse hay more than three times a day. Only 92 respondents (4%) feed their horse hay once per day. The remaining 100 respondents (5%) said their horse has another hay feeding frequency.

Additionally, more than 190 individuals commented about their hay feeding practices:
