Is alfalfa hay bad for clydesdales?

Alfalfa hay is not inherently bad for Clydesdales, but it should be fed in moderation due to its high protein and calcium content. Clydesdales, being a draft breed, may gain weight easily, so excessive consumption of rich forage like alfalfa can lead to obesity and related health issues. It's best to balance their diet with grass hay and other forage to meet their nutritional needs without overloading them on calories. Always consult with a veterinarian or equine nutritionist for specific dietary recommendations.
