Our barn was fed bad hay two horses died and almost all had diarrea, my horse was lathagic for months before he also tried to die, that day when he did get very sick he did not eat or drink for three days and just layed in his stall, to find out his stomack was covered in ulcers and his white blood count was very low, we have switch hay and one year later he is still not right, ten thousand dollars in vet bills and no one knows what to due, his white blood count is still low, do you have any ideas on how to get that up or any websights that you can point me too. thanks samantha

I just wanted to say thank you for that article. My dad gave me a horse for Christmas and I have been reading books on the "how to's." It has been stated that horses do not need to be fed "moldy hay." The last time I went to see Gypsy-my new addition to the family-I noticed that the hay she (and the other horses) were eating had white mold all through it-it had rained the previously. It kinda scared me. I brought it to the attention of my dad and he said "they won't eat anything that will hurt them." Do I need to be worried and when I finally get her to my house have her checked out by a Vet? Again, I'm glad a "happened" upon your article.

My comment is actually about hay cubes - are there any cons to feeding cubes rather than hay? What should you look for when feeding cubes?
