You feed a combined hay/grain pellet? Or just a complete feed pellet that you supplement with hay?

Interesting, I have used those "cubes" camping... same thing?

From a pasture management standpoint, I just don't know how to look at the pasture and tell if there is too much and founder is a risk. Especially because mine is pretty unplanted weed grass. If there isn't enough, I can supplement with hay. I just worry because they can founder so quickly.

Yeah, Horse Chow is a complete Hay/grain pellet. I have not bought hay in about 10 years, other then the occasional one to take on a camping trip so they have something to keep them busy tied up.

Using pellets their teeth will need floating more often, but to counter that I throw a handful of whole corn in once a day, and it has worked like a charm. I was having to float twice a year, since starting to feed the whole corn I've skipped a year.
