Been reading all I can find about feeding horses in the backcountry. I've read about picketing, hobbling, hot wires and a combination thereof. Have also been reading about compressed bales, beet pulp, alfalfa cubes, pellets, etc. Want to make sure my animals are well cared for and need some help with "backcountry feeding 101" from summer scouting/flyfishing to early season archery to late season high country. Would really appreciate as many perspectives as possible so I can try them and find out what works for our animals in the mountains.
Have been thoroughly enjoying our horses and getting time in the saddle. Lots of new considerations and logistical challenges and this site and the experienced horse/mulemen have been a tremendous resource. Thank you!
