Wow - I am so overwhelmed with the response. Thank you all sooo much for all the advice.
Since it came up a few times, we do ride our horses, but they also work for a living. We use our 16 year old mare, a Shire/Clydesdale cross, to plow the garden, twitch wood, haul maple sap and pull whatever is heavy around here. The other two are her 2 and 3 year old fillies. We're hoping the 3 year old will be quiet enough to help mom with the cutting, but we've never actually made hay with the horses before.
Obviously there's no way to bale with horses, but our barn won't be finished by winter, so loose hay seems out of the question.
I think we're going to just have a run at it with the horses and the sickle bar mower, find a wheel driven side delivery rake the horses or a four wheeler or whatever can pull, then let our neighbor do the tedding with his little tractor and find someone to bale it for us.
We have 9 acres all fenced for the horses, so they can graze until October. Everyone keep their fingers crossed that we can find someone to leave their fields to come bale ours!
