Horses need to be fed a diet based on their weight, a horse requires between 1% and 3% of it's own bodyweight in food daily. The basis of the diet should be forages such as hay or grass, concentrated feeds should not be fed unless the horse is in moderate or harder work, pregnant/growing, or a hardkeeper. A horse also typically drinks 0.5 to1.0 gallons of water a day per 100 pounds of bodyweight, but this can quadruple in the summer. The horse will also need a grooming kit with several brushes and a hoof pick. A horse will need some form of shelter from the weather and possibly bedding such as pine shavings to lay on if the floor of the shelter is very hard. There are many other things a horse needs but it would be best to contact a local equine vet or equine professional in your area for more details.
