I sold horse hay for over 25 years. It helped pay the bills during the 1980s. The wife and kids would have the hay ready to bale and I would take off work at 1-2 PM and load the wagons as the wife drove the tractor. Usually put up 15-20K each years. Some years I had almost 40K in the barns.
I started out CASH only and stayed that way. I have turned down higher offers that where checks.
I never hold hay anymore, that is not paid for either. I got burned a time or two on that. Guys would keep saying they wanted the hay. So I would hold it. Then we would have a warmer winter or such and they would not need the hay then. So there I set with hay in the spring.
There are some people that fool with horses that are financially sound but there are 5 to 1 that can barely pay for their hobby. So if anything happens they are out of luck and money.
As far as the horse Rescue people. They are mostly IDIOTS!!! About 10 years ago or so I had a bunch of large round bales of hay that I was going to have left. This was good timothy/alfalfa hay. It was mesh wrapped and stored on sandy ground. Almost zero waste. Horse rescue people called and asked for a donation. I told them to bring something out and I would give them some hay. They came out and wanted the hay I had stored inside. They told me their "Rescued" horses would not eat my junk outside hay. I ran them off and told them I would burn it before they got a bale.

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
