        Standing seat???  Is that a saddle seat thing?  Do you
have a saddle seat instructor?

        Local grass hay is ok...not IMO great, mind you...Kinda
depends on the grower.  Some people around here try to sell
mostly weed as hay.  :/  But I am curious.  Where do you find the
timothy?  I haven't found a dealer around who has had anything
but alfalfa for over a month.  welll...I haven't checked in the
last couple weeks.  The pasture's up enough that we're pretty much
'hay free' for a little while.  However...it certainly would be
useful for future reference.
        oh...and as to changing feeds...my motto generally is:
        If your wallet can handle it and if it works - don't mess
        change anything.!.
