What is the best horse feed?

The best horse feed will vary depending on the life stage, habits and performance demands of your horse. A complete feed may be best for horses who can't eat forage or for those who have specific nutritional needs. Ration balancers and concentrates are designed to supplement forage and can be best for working equines or performance horses in training. Forage and hay horse feeds help take the place of natural graze feeding on the pasture. They come in loose or convenient pelleted forms to make feeding convenient and easy.

How much horse feed should I feed a horse a day?

Feed a horse the amounts suggested on the horse feed package every day. The amounts you feed will vary depending on the types of food you are feeding, and most horse feed packages will include recommended feeding amounts. If you are feeding a complete ration as the sole source of nutrition, just feed the recommended amount. If you are feeding a ration balancer, feed suggested amounts in addition to the hay or forage recommended daily for your horse's size and activity level. Most horses eat, on average, fifteen to twenty pounds of hay per day. Amounts will vary depending on activity levels and whether you are supplementing with grain or another feed supplement.
