Hot teeth

After three hours, there are still some good piles of hay here and there, and a bunch of horses standing off in the distance, eyes half shut, breathing shallowly. This happens every day. Am I overfeeding them? Later in the afternoon I return to see that just about every scrap of hay has been eaten, and not by squirrels and bunnies.

Time for a theory: Initially the horses eat so fast their teeth overheat. They’re simply letting them cool.
