I never feed hay in the trailer. I am too concerned about the amount of
dust, and when they are riding in a two horse straight load they can't lower
their noses sufficiently to clear their sinuses. If they are in a slant, I
wouldn't want to hang a hay bag and have them get either a foot or halter
caught in
it. I find that they aren't going to starve before you get there, and chances
are that you will have some time waiting once you get there before you get
deployed on a search.
