Summary: Feeding hints for all horses

•

Base the diet on roughage – preferably long-stem roughage and no less than 50% of the total diet by weight.

•

Know the weight of food given.

•

Horses are individuals – feed them accordingly.

•

Use quality feeds – no weeds, dust or moulds.

•

Feed the horse according to work.

•

Do not feed more than 2.5 kg of concentrate in any one meal.

•

Feed small meals often (at least three times per day) and at regular times.

•

Make changes gradually, ideally over 10–14 days.

•

Observe dung for changes.

•

Regularly review feed programme – seek advice.

•

Reduce grain levels on the night before and on the days of rest.
