i was wondering how much was it a week

a bale of hay is the same for any horse, or any animal. depends on what kind of hay..just go to your local feed store. in SoCal, where i'm hay, hay's usually between $10-$15. depends on what kind. for i mini, i'd say about half-flake per feeding, unless it has special needs (more/less) and i'm guessing theres usually about 12-15 flakes in a bale...so there ya go. haha
It depends on the season and the type but a 1000 pound horse eats about a bale a week. Are you going to feed oat, forage, alfalfa or grass hay? Minis are cheap to feed. I'm paying $12-14 for a bale of alfalfa.
Depending on where you live the cost of a bale of hay varies a lot. Also the time of year. Like right now hay is a little cheaper in Northern CA because local people have bought hay off the big ranches and are selling it cheaper than the feed stores at $11.00 or cheaper a bale. The feed stores around here are still about $15.00 a bale. I've never had a minnie but I'd guess they eat half as much as a horse (about a flake a day) so a bale would last you about two weeks. So I guess you'd only need 2 bales a month which would run you between $22.00 to $30.00 a month.
