A flake of hay is not equal to all flakes of hay.

Flakes of hay can vary in weight.

One flake of grass hay can weigh as little as 3lbs, and upwards of 5lbs, so occasionally weighing your hay may help with weight issues in some horses.

Here are a few examples of a grass hay testing at 800 calories per pound. (Per day)

4 flakes at 3lbs per flake = 12lbs and 9600 kcal.
4 flakes at 5lbs each = 20lbs and 16,000 kcals.
6 flakes at 5lbs each = 30lbs and 24,000 kcals.

Weighing hay can be key in managing both over and underweight horses who are “meal-fed” as they may be getting much more or much less than expected. Using a hay net or basket and fish scale is an easy way to get an idea of how much is being fed and should be done on a regular basis (at least with each new load).

Do you have leftover hay?

I know it might be tempting to want to get the new stuff, but keep some of last year's crop to help switch over to this year's. Some horses are ok with fresh cut hay, while other horses may have digestive issues.

In either case, the older hay doesn't diminish feed quality that fast and will be great to feed well into the new hay season.

It's one of those things everybody is tempted to do. Do you cut your lawn too short?

Cutting the grass too short is the most common lawn-care error, and it leads to several problems; the ideal length is 3 to 3/12 inches.
