My daughter and SIL feed their horses a little alfalfa hay too. Something the SIL's dad does with his horses.

My son on the other hand wouldn't feed alfalfa at all, it worries him that Jenny does. I guess it just all in who you talk too.

I think it's probably what you are used to. Growing up in the west, everyone fed alfalfa. Bob had a hard time with it, coming from NC, he had only ever fed grass hay.

We can't put a bale out for horses of course, and pay attention to the amount that they get, but they do very well on it.

I think we mostly think, alfalfa has protein in it, and is cheaper than grass hay with is just basically filler (the grass hay we get here).
