What are you feeding your equine(s)?Horse are herbivores by design and foragers by nature. Our equine friends are most content when they can nibble almost constantly. Although it's not always possible to let them graze to their heart's content, feeding high-quality hay is a good way to satisfy their urge to chew and provide essential nutrients at the same time.

A mature horse will eat 2-2.5% of its body weight per day; roughage should contribute to at least half of this percentage, but most agree forage should be a minimum of 75% of the horse's diet. For a 1,000-pound horse, that means at least 10 pounds of hay each day. This said, please remember that not all horses are made equal, so a horse's total protein and energy requirements will ultimately depend on the individual's age, stage of development, metabolism and workload.

Consult your veterinarian or an equine nutritionist when formulating your horse's ration. They can help you put together a balanced diet that utilizes grain, hay and supplements in a safe, nutritious and cost-effective way!
