How do you feed
Ok, this is a question, but not a question.
How much do you feed your horse a day? And why?
I鈥檓 not trying to start a fight, or say someone鈥檚 wrong and someone鈥檚 right, I鈥檓 just curious. From reading some answers on here, I鈥檝e noticed that a lot of people feed their horses differently. Not just hay and grain, but amounts. So I was wondering why.
I personally feed my horse two flakes (big, but not huge) of oat hay a day in the summer, alfalfa in the winter. Plus his hoof supplement. And sometimes cob or sweet cob in the winter. We have mild weather where I live, except heat, it can get really hot here, and he has an acre of grass to himself. He鈥檚 in good condition.
(And for those of who you鈥檒l have something to say, he does have company.)
Answers:Where I live i feed my horses alfalfa in the morning and oat pellets at night (they don't eat straight oat hay). I give my older horse senior grain to help his joints and coat. I sometimes give coat supplements to the others as well, but those are expensive. i used to feed straight alfalfa but that's bad for them, so i switched :)
i say you feed them enough where they get the energy they need, & you feed them enough to restore their energy after you work with them. It's so they don't get too fat or too skinny
well i have a horse and i feed it 1 gallon of grain in the morning and 1 in the evening as for hay i feed him 1 flake that is 4 or 5 inches thick, your horse might need more or less depending on its nutritional needs!
