Answer 4

During winter months and on the freezing unexpected days down here in Mississippi ( lol) we keep our horses in the barn on those nights and they get 2 flakes of hay each. The horse holds his food in the stomach for a rough 15 min and when digestion takes place it generates heat throughout the horse's body, and hay provides an enormous amount of heat.
