I've noticed that mustangs are cheaper than other types of horses around here. Is there a reason for this? Are they harder to train? Feistier? I've never been around one...we have QH, TWH, Spotted Saddle, Paso Fino. Just wondering what experiences you all had had with mustangs, they seem like such beautiful horses.
Also, I'm in Indiana...we've got 4 horses on about 2 acres...the weather has been pretty cold and pretty much stunted grass growth by now. I've been giving them 1 bale of hay per day. It is pretty high quality hay. In you all's opinion, should I be giving them more or less? They look great (if not a little chubby). I'd rather them be chubby in the winter though.
Also, what kind of hay should I buy for my horses? We've bought various things in the past, and I believe what we just bought is 50/50 alfalfa. I was thinking that maybe we should just be giving them grass hay, becuase I heard alfalfa gives them energy...but I don't feel that they need any more energy, it's not like we ride them through mountains or anything. We take them about once a month down to the state park and go on trails for a couple of hours, but that's pretty much it.
Just wanting opinions from you all's experience.
Thanks!!
