- Feeding horses in the winter routine!
Feeding horses during any season can be difficult, but winter certainly comes with the biggest challenges. In this video we will show you a little about feeding horses in the Midwest and take you through our routine. We use hay chix nets to prevent wasting hay and to make feeding horses as efficient and cost effective as possible.

Great parents , lucky kids
Mark Rumfola thank you 😊 I’m thinking lucky parents who were blessed with great kids
I wish I could have a farm like you one day :)
Animal Lover it was my wish when I was younger too. Keep working hard and someday you’ll have one 🤠
Beautiful horses, barn and family! Love how how efficient everything runs!
Lynn Mallen thank you!
I like seeing the Shepard on Guard.
she never quits, haha
Wow! I dont own horses, will never own horses but have just sat and watched a 40 minute vid on your feeding routine. So very interesting, and lovely seeing the horses follow you and know their own stalls! Best bit was watching your own little foals searching for their eggs! Brilliant! Lol 😀😀😀
+Tracy Rain thank you for watching! I’m glad you enjoyed it!
^^^Same. I've only visited trails with horses from time to time so it's educational to know the details of care for them.
you have a lovely family it made me laugh when your children where running around finding their eggs
emma roberts thank you!
I can't help myself but keep going back on your video's, I learn something new each time...Just when I thoughts I understood something you both said, I pick up something new.
thats great, thanks for watching!
I love your feed troughs for hay not much waste either, I also love baler twine it has a million uses Ive tied a tow bar up on my car with it when it broke and makes a great belt when forgotten :-))
I could write a book on 1001 uses for baler twine
Love love love the hay boxes!
AND the water boxes!! ❤💪
thank you, they have saved me a lot of time and money
I love seeing what you do. You make it look so fun and easy.

Diane Reiser I wish I had green pastures!

You know what I would like to know is! How did you two meet? God did good with the two of you! You seem to have been made for each other.
I love your animals and your pup is hilarious but works very hard 😁😇
Wendy C. Thank you. Stella puts in a full days work 😂
Thank you for all the info. We may retire to our own farm.
Thanks for watching!
Nice stalls
thank you
You deserve wayyy more subscribers i have horses to
Barrel Racing QUEEN27 Aw thank you. I started this channel for my students but it’s pretty cool to be able to share with everyone. What kind of horses do you have?
@@VersatileHorsemanship I have a pony and three horse i forget how to spell the names of the breeds lol
Shepard got his ball
always 😂
My horse has one eye but no glass ball
This was an awesome video and gave me some ideas for my place. Do your horses stay out 24/7 with free access to the run in sheds? The only time you bring them in the stall is to feed even in the coldest part of winter? We don’t get as cold as you but it still gets chilly. I’m just trying to get some ideas for my place. I only have 5 but they are a chore. I live in Louisiana so we don’t get snow just tons of rain and mud in the winter. Thanks again for the video. Y’all have an amazing set up!!!
Thank you! I’m glad you found my video helpful. Our horses stay out 24/7. I have a few that I will bring into stalls when the weather is severe, but that’s pretty rare. Now, I don’t even bring them into stalls to grain them, I use feed bags. Makes it even easier 😊
@@VersatileHorsemanship Awesome!!! Thank you for the reply. I realize the videos was 2 years old but I’ve been doing some research to get some ideas and your video helped out a lot. Thank you for getting back to me. Y’all keep up the great work!!!
4,000 bales a year is alot and the hay in this video looks like really good quality stuff. a question i have is why do you not feed roundbales? haychix has nets for them to prevent waste like the other of their nets you have. or is it you do square bales so you can spread the hay out(in those very nifty boxes) so more horses can eat without the boss horses chasing off horses who are lower on the totem pole?
Kuro Kitsune we want to feed round bales and that is our goal to eventually be set up with them. First problem is we have our hay trucked in by semi, it’s 3 hours away. We wouldn’t get as much hay on a flatbed as we do in the semi and delivery price would be the same. Second, our tractor isn’t big enough to lift a round bale so we have no way of stacking them. We can drag them out but it takes 2 people and I usually do barn chores myself. When we get a bigger tractor someday, round bales will be a top priority for me. In other videos you’ll see that I do use the round bale nets, I just stuff them with 20 square bales.
Could you make a diy video on how to make those awesome hay boxes?
That's a great idea. My dad makes them for me. I'll see if I can convince him.
Versatile Horsemanship would love to see how you make the hoop for the box too. In addition to the dimensions etc :)
I second this lol was thinking of putting my dad to work 😂
can I ask why you don't use round bales? Would be easier.....but there must be a reason you choose to do it this way. loved the vidio and subscribed
We didn’t have a tractor or a supplier for rounds and they don’t stack well. We need all the room we can get. A year ago we got a tractor and switched to 900 pound squares. They stack super nice.
I use hay chix love them! Question... with the boxes, when it rains does the water pool in bottom?
Erin Zanavich nope, we drill holes in the bottom of the boxes for drainage.
Okay, why couldn't the little guys come into the stalls. Don't they get a chance to eat too ???
Debra Flowers not all horses are fed grain or supplements. They eat hay in the pasture.
Watch next ➡️ ua-cam.com/video/FwHorpSkAHU/v-deo.html
So when you have rainy days how do you handle feeding the pasture horses since the boxes aren’t protected?
Joyce Nesselhauf the hay only lasts 24 hours when in the boxes so I’m not concerned about it molding if it gets wet. There are drainage holes in the bottom of the boxes if there’s excess water.
Versatile Horsemanship That makes sense!
I have a horse that’s 28
Nice
Where do you live....it's so snowy. Do you get tired of it? Ohio is mild move here! Would love to ride at your farm!
Upper Michigan. I enjoy the snow.
Ok I will move to michigan. Your latest trail ride and pony cart ride looked like blast . Enjoy those wonderful horses...so jealous
Nancy Nancy thank you, it really is a blast
I love the hay boxes! Do they have bottoms to them or are they open to keep from collecting water? My horses waste so much hay just tossing it on the ground! I’ll be building two of those boxes this weekend!
thank you! We bought plans from grazingbox.com and modified them to fit our needs. they have bottoms with holes drilled in them. I was not a fan of the metal grates that are suggested so I use hay chix DIY netting.
how many horses do you have? and are they all yours?
Sydnee Metzinger I own 14 horses
wowza
How many horses do you have currently???
I own 14 and have 10 boarders
@@VersatileHorsemanship nice that would litteraly be a dream to me
Have you been riding manner
Sorry I meant manzer
How many acres are you sitting on?
20
That's wonderful! I got just five
I know this is an old video but the music makes it hard to hear you.
I listen with headphones and it seems to be a little better. I am listening in the classroom on my lunch breaks. The kids love to see the kitties on the horses.
Do you all get racoons etc to eat thier grain etc Do the horses get eye diseases of the eyes caused by the flies?.. When ever a horse passes on where do you usually lay them to rest?.. way in the back??
LISA PITTS we don’t have an issue with raccoons and our horses have never had an eye disease. We have one horse that has been laid to rest on our farm and he is in a quiet spot beside the pasture.
Hi I’m Tahlia’s farm I’m making another channel with toy stuff ima film one right now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!o,o
