Re: Gelding urinating on my mares food

Hello Taunya,

It is very common for horses to urinate on hay that is on the ground. So if you find that a lot is being wasted, it is best to use some form of container, hay net, or feeder that minimizes the amount on the ground.

There are many from which to choose -- keep me posted.

All the best,
