It happens on occasion. Hay can mold if not baled perfectly dry and if stored improperly. Luckily this was only one section of a small bale. All the other hay was fine.
If I ever come across hay that is really tightly bound I make sure to inspect it closely. This one was pretty obvious and pretty fuzzy in areas
I figured I'd post the pictures since when I was first a horse owner I was so worried about moldy hay and that I might miss seeing a moldy section and accidentally feed a horse. Well, most of the times it's pretty easy to see. Hopefully this pictures show what to look for.

Thanks for sharing! Indeed knowing what mouldy hay looks like and how to identify it is very important to our equine friends' health! Some great photos.
